Elimination method:

\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ ----------(1)

\

$\"\"$ ----------(2)

\

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by negative 15 and multiply the second equation by 2. $\"\"$

\

Add the equations to eliminate the x - variable and solve the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by negative 89.
