\

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

\

Observe the coefficient of each term, the coefficient of x - term has same coefficients, so the best method is Elimination using subtraction method to solve the system of equations.

\

Elimination using subtraction:

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by negative 7.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The value of $\"\"$ substitute in either equation to find x.

\

Second equation: $\"\"$ .

\

\

$\"\"$

\

Add 9 to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Divide each side by negative.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
