\

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

\

Observe the coefficient of each term, the coefficients of y - term has opposite coefficients, so the best method is Elimination using addition method to solve the system of equations.

\

Elimination using addition:

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by 8.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

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

\

Second equation: $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Add 5 to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Divide each side by negative 7.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
