Answer 1

I would like to say I could help you and 100% give you the correct answer. But I can't figure it out. Sorry :/ @johnweldon1993 may be able to help?

Answer 2

So we have a system of equations

\[\large 5x + 2y = 14\]
\[\large y = -x + 5\]

If we substitute the second equation into the first one...we get

\[\large 5x + 2(-x + 5) = 14\]
\[\large 5x - 2x + 10 = 14\]
\[\large 3x + 10 = 14\]
\[\large 3x = 4\]
\[\large x = ?\]

Then using that 'x' solve for 'y' in one of the original equations
