Notice that the second equation is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=0x%2B2y=14 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"0x%2B2y=14\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. This is the same as writing <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=2y=14 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"2y=14\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Divide both sides by 2 to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=7 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=7\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Then you can plug y=7 into the first equation to make <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=11x%2B10y=147 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"11x%2B10y=147\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > become <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=11x%2B10%2A7=147 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"11x%2B10%2A7=147\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Then you get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=11x%2B70=147 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"11x%2B70=147\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Subtract 70 from both sides to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=11x+=77 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"11x+=77\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.

So, y=7 and x =7. I hope this helps! Please visit my website at www.myonlinetutor.webs.com to get homework help. Thanks! =]  </SPAN>\n" );
