Question 490988: 4. Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
-7x – 5y = 1.5
-5x – 4y = 4.5
Can someone help me solve this?

Get the coefficients of either x or y to match.
Multiply the 1st eqn by 4 and the 2nd by 5, then subtract.
