Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.

2x + 10y = 58
-14x + 8y = 140

1 answer

Multiply the first equation by 7, then add the two equations.

78y = 546

Solve for y. Insert that value into the first equation and solve for x. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
