My apologies for the error. Let's solve the system of equations again:
5x + 2y = 14
x - 6y = 22
Let's solve the second equation for x:
x = 22 + 6y
Substitute x in the first equation:
5(22 + 6y) + 2y = 14
110 + 30y + 2y = 14
32y = -96
y = -3
Now, substitute y back into x = 22 + 6y:
x = 22 + 6(-3)
x = 22 - 18
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (4, -3).
5x + 2y = 14
x - 6y = 22
Let's solve the second equation for x:
x = 22 + 6y
Substitute x in the first equation:
5(22 + 6y) + 2y = 14
110 + 30y + 2y = 14
32y = -96
y = -3
Now, substitute y back into x = 22 + 6y:
x = 22 + 6(-3)
x = 22 - 18
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (4, -3).
