Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
\n" ); document.write( "-5x – 7y = 25.5
\n" ); document.write( "-2x + 10y = -9
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 1st equation by -2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 2nd equation by -5
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 14y = -51
\n" ); document.write( "10x - 50y = 45
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "64y = -96
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/2
\n" ); document.write( "==============
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 14y = -51
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 14(-3/2) = -51
\n" ); document.write( "10x - 21 = -51
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "---------
