Here is an example of solving the system of equations
Find the values of x and y that solve the system of equations
5x-4y=-14
-7x+5y=22
1) 5x-4y=-14
2) -7x+5y=22
If we multiply the first equation by five and the second by four, we get
25x -20y = -70
-28x +20y = 88
Adding these two equations together, we get
-3x = 18
x = -6
and we can use any equation to get y = -4.
Final result is x = -6, and y = -4.
