Let's solve the system of equations using the method of elimination.
[tex]------------------[/tex]
Let's join the two equations, add the second equation to the first.
2x and -2x are opposites, since the sum of opposites is equal to zero, let's take them out of the equation.
Calculate the first and second numbers of the equation.
Pass the number that is multiplying the unknown to the second dividing member.
[tex]y = \frac{ - 10}{10} [/tex]
[tex]======================[/tex]
We have the value of y is -1, substitute the given value in one of the equations to find the value of x. I'm going to choose the equation 2x + 7y = 1 as it's the simplest equation.
Solve the Multiplication;
Pass the number -7 to the second member, change his sign.
Solve the second number;
Pass the number that is multiplying the unknown to the other side by dividing.
