Question

need help with system:
-14=-2=y-7x
2x=10y +4

I have 20y-4x=-8 and -20y-7x=-14, but i think i did something wrong after that

Answer 1

Try solving for y or x in both equations first.

Answer 2

i got
-11x=-24

Answer 3

Show me the original problem again, please?

Answer 4

-14=-2=y-7x
2x=10y +4

Answer 5

-14 = -2. . . ?

Answer 6

sorry
-14=-20y-7x

Answer 7

well if solving for y,
-14=-20y-7x

Since y is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
-20y-7x=-14

Since -7x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 7x to both sides.
-20y=7x-14

Divide each term in the equation by -20.
-(20y)/(-20)=(7x)/(-20)-(14)/(-20)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y=(7x)/(-20)-(14)/(-20)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=-(7x)/(20)+(7)/(10)

Answer 8

but if solving for x,
-14=-20y-7x

Since x is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
-20y-7x=-14

Since -20y does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 20y to both sides.
-7x=20y-14

Divide each term in the equation by -7.
-(7x)/(-7)=(20y)/(-7)-(14)/(-7)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=(20y)/(-7)-(14)/(-7)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=-(20y)/(7)+2

Answer 9

and on the second half of the problem u listed, solving for y,
2x=10y+4

Since y is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
10y+4=2x

Since 4 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides.
10y=-4+2x

Move all terms not containing y to the right-hand side of the equation.
10y=2x-4

Divide each term in the equation by 10.
(10y)/(10)=(2x)/(10)-(4)/(10)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y=(2x)/(10)-(4)/(10)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=(x-2)/(5)

Answer 10

but solving for x would give you,
2x=10y+4

Divide each term in the equation by 2.
(2x)/(2)=(10y)/(2)+(4)/(2)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=(10y)/(2)+(4)/(2)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=5y+2
