    q = 6

    r = 7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Multiply 1st column by - 2:

    -30q+8r=-124

    5q+8r=86

    Subtract 2nd column from the first column:

    -35q = - 210

    Solve for q:

    q=6

    Subtract q=6 by any of the two equations, so:

    -30q+8r=-124

    -30*6+8r=-124

    Solve for r:

    r=7
