Use the elimination method to solve the system of linear equations. 1/2x-3y=-12 4x-7y=-11

OpenStudy (radar):

I suggest you eliminate the x variable. Multiply the first equation by -8 (all terms), then add the equations. This will eliminate the x and you can solve for y. After getting the value of y, it is a simple matter of substituting this value for y in either equation and solve for x.
