Question 828671: I can't figure out this system of equations..
4x-y=14
5x+3y=9
I tried using linear combination and the substitution method on this, but when I get what one of the values equal, it is always a decimal, which can't be right.

1.4x-y=14
2.5x%2B3y=9
Multiply eq. 1 by 3 and add to eq. 2,
3%284x-y%29%2B5x%2B3y=3%2814%29%2B9
12x-3y%2B5x%2B3y=42%2B9
17x=51
highlight%28x=3%29
No solve for y.
