Answer: (4.5, 6.5) is your solution
Step-by-step explanation:
You need either the x term or the y term to be the same in both equations so you can eliminate them...
8x=2y+5
6x=2y+14
Now you can subtract the two equations...
2x=9
Divide 9 by 2....
x=4.5 or 4 1/2
Plug in x into one of the original equations to find y...
13.5=y+7
Subtract 7 from 13.5...
6.5=y
