Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination. 8x + 7y = 39 4x – 14y = –68 Multiply the first equation to enable the elimination of the y-term. Add the equations to eliminate the y-terms. Solve the new equation for the x-value. Substitute the x-value back into either original equation to find the y-value. Check the solution. The solution to the system of equations is (, ).
