Question 448101: what is the solution to this linear system
y=5x
2x+y = 14

y=5x (equation 1)
2x+y = 14 (equation 2)
.
take value of y from equation 1 and substitute it into equation 2 and solve for x:
2x+y = 14
2x+5x = 14
7x = 14
x = 2
.
substitute above into equation 1 to find y:
y=5x
y=5(2)
y = 10
.
