Question 248391
solve by the elimination method. 
5x+2y=-11
7x-3y=17
--------------
Multiply thru 1st by 3 and thru 2nd by 2:
15x + 6y = -33
14x - 6y = 34
--------------------
29x = 1
x = 1/29
--------------
Substitute into 5x+2y = -11 to solve for "y":
5(1/29) + 2y = -11
Multiply thru by 29 to get rid of the denominator:
5 + 58y = -319
58y = -324
y = -162/29
