Solve Simultaneous Equations by Elimination Method

Steps

Eliminate variable y to solve for x in the given equations.

simultaneous equation solver step 1

Use the coefficients of y from Eq.1 and Eq.2 as a multiplier to eliminate the y variables. Then multiply equation 1 throughout by 7 and label it equation 3
