Answer:
x = 2, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You first want to eliminate one of the variables, so I multiplied the second equation by 2. Then I added the two equations together, eliminating the y and leaving me with 11x = 22. Then divide both sides by 11. To get y, you plug in the x and solve.
(3x - y = 4) × 2 = 6x - 2y = 8
5x + 2y = 14
+ 6x - 2y = 8
11x = 22
x = 2
5(2) + 2y = 14
