Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x and the y values with a comma.

16x=50-14y

-7x=77-14y

16x = 50 - 14y

-7x = 77 - 14y

Rewrite the first equation.

Multiply the second equation by - 1 and write under the first equation.

Then add the equations.

16x = 50 - 14y

7x = - 77 + 14y

Add to get:

23x = - 27

x = - 27/23

Now substitute this value of x in the first original equation and solve for y.

16x = 50 - 14y

16 (-27/23) = 50 - 14y

-432/23 = 1150/23 - 14y

-1582/23 = - 14y

y = 113/23

-27/23, 113/23
