===============
For elimination, you have to make the coefficients of either x or y match.
---
Multiply the 1st eqn by 3, and the 2nd by 2, then subtract.

solve this system by using elimination?
2x-5y=-25
3x+4y=20
-----
6x - 15y = 3(-25)
6x + 8y = 2(20)
----------------------
Subtract and solve for "y"::
23y = 40+75
23y = 115
y = 5
------
Solve for "x":
2x - 5(5)= -25
2x = 0
x = 0
