Question 371189
Even though it says to use the elimination method, we don't need to cancel out any variables here. Notice that the second equation is {{{0x+2y=14}}}. This is the same as writing {{{2y=14}}}. Divide both sides by 2 to get {{{y=7}}}. Then you can plug y=7 into the first equation to make {{{11x+10y=147}}} become {{{11x+10*7=147}}}. Then you get {{{11x+70=147}}}. Subtract 70 from both sides to get {{{11x =77}}}. Divide both sides by 11 to get {{{x=7}}}. So, y=7 and x =7. I hope this helps!
