anonymous · Answer

Multiply second one by 14/4 = 7/2 and add to get y.

jhonyy9 · Answer

14x +18y =-54 divide both sides by 2 and get 7x+9y=-27
-4x-14y=42 divide both sides by 2 and get -2x-7y=21

 7x+9y=-27 multiply by 2
-2x-7y=21   multiply by 7

 14x+18y=-54
-14x-49y=147
---------------- assum 
  0   -31y=93
y=93/(-31) =-3
y=-3

-2x-7(-3)=21
-2x+21=21
-2x=0

x=0
y=-3
