Multiply the second equation by two and add to the first.

Now solve for x.
Then use either equation to solve for y.

5x-2y=14
2x+y=14
------
Modify for elimination:
5x - 2y = 14
4x + 2y = 28
-------------------------
Add and solve for "x":
9x = 42
x = 13/3
--------------
Solve for "y"::
y = 14-2x
y = 14-26/3
-----
y = (42-26)/3
y = 16/3
