    X = - 1 and y=2

    Proof:

    -4x+5y=14 (equation 1)

    7x+3y = - 1 (equation 2)

    3y = - 7x - 1

    y = - 7/3x - 1/3 (equation 3)

    (3) into (1)

    -4x+5 (-7/3x-1/3) = 14

    -4x-35/3x-5/3=14

    -47/3x-5/3=14

    -47/3x=47/3

    x = (-47/3) / (47/3)

    x = - 1

    sub x = - 1 into (3)

    y = - 7/3 (-1) - 1/3

    y = 2

    One way to solve is to try to cancel out some terms

    we till try to cancel out the y terms

    -4x+5y=14

    7x+3y=-1

    find lcm of 3 and 5 the lcm=15

    -4x+5y=14

    multily by 3

    -12x+15y=42

    7x+3y=-1

    multiply both sides by - 5

    -35x-15y=5

    add 2 equations together

    -12x-35x+15x-15x=42+5

    add like terms

    -47x=47

    divide both sides by 47

    -x=1

    multpiply by - 1

    x=-1

    subsitute - 1 for x in one quation

    7x+3y=-1

    x=-1

    7 (-1) + 3y=-1

    -7+3y=-1

    add 7 to both sides

    3y=6

    divide both sides by 3

    y=2

    x=-1

    y=2
