Multiply the first equation by 3, the second equation by (-7)

In this way we have the same coefficient, but with different sign, in front of y. If after that we add the first equation to the second equation, the second equation will have only x.

Put in the first equation

5x-7y=9 .............1
4x-3y=33.............2

multiply (1)by -4
Multiply (2) by 5
-20x+28y=-36
20x-15y=165

Add the two equations

13y=129
/13

y=9.92
Plug value of y in
5x-7y=9
5x-69.46 = 9
5x=78.46
/5
x=15.69
