14r+11r=59
11r+14r=41

Since the only variable is r, this is not a system of equations and elimination is not required to solve them.

14r + 11r = 59 ---> 25r = 59 ---> r = 59/25.

11r + 14r = 41 ---> 25r = 41 ---> r= 41/25

Hope the solution helped. Sometimes you need more than a solution. Contact fcabanski@hotmail.com for online, private tutoring, or personalized problem solving (quick for groups of problems.)
