Question 1010611
The difference between seven times one number and three times a second number is 25. the sum of twice the first and five times the second is 95 find the numbers. 
-------
7x - 3y = 25
2x + 5y = 95
---------
Modify for elimination::
14x - 6y = 50
14x + 35y = 665
-------
Subtract and solve for "y"::
41y = 615
y = 15
--------
Solve for "x"::
2x + 5y = 95
2x + 5*15 = 95
2x = 20
x = 10
