The system of equations are
.
Observe the coefficient of each term, the coefficient of y - 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 y - variable and solve the equation.
\
The resultant equation is
.
Divide each side by negative 7.
\

The value of
substitute in either equation to find y.
Second equation:
.


Add 2 to each side.
\

Divide each side by 8.
\

The solution is
.
