Question 843416: solve each system by elimination:
-20y+14x-48=0
4x-12y=-24

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
14x-20y=48
1.7x-10y=24
4x-12y=-24
2.x-3y=-6
Multiply eq. 2 by -7 and add to eq. 2 to eliminate x,
7x-10y-7x%2B21y=24%2B42
11y=66
highlight%28y=6%29
Then use either equation to solve for x
x-3%286%29=-6
x=18-6
highlight%28x=12%29
