You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system of equations by elimination.
5x – 2y = -4
4x – 7y = 3
-----------------------
Multiply the 1st eq. by 4 and the 2nd equation by 5 to get:
---
20x - 8y = -16
20x -35y = 15
------------------------
Subtract the 3nd Eq. from the 1st and solv for "y":
27y = - 31
y = -31/27
-----------------------
Substitute into 5x - 2y = -4 to solve for "x":
5x -2(-31/27) = -4
5x = -62/27 - (108/27)
5x = -170/27
x = -34/27
