Answer:

X=7.5 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2x + 7y = 8 \\ 2x + y = 14[/tex]

I multiplied the equation with - 1 to than I sum it with the second one to get rid of x

[tex] - 6y = 6 \\ y = - 1[/tex]

Now you put Y in on of the equation and you get x.

[tex]2x - 1 = 14 \\ 2x = 15 \\ x = 7.5[/tex]
