10x + 7y=1-5x-7y=24
Okay, so since both y values share the same number, let's add both equations so the y values cancel out leaving us to solve for x.10x+(-5x)=5x7y+(-7y)=01+24=25Now we have 5x=25divide both sides by 5 and we have x=5Now that we know x=5, we can plug it into one of the problems to find y.Let's do 10(5) +7y=1 50+7y=1 subtract 5 and we get 7y=-49divide -7 from both sides and we get y=-7so there you have it x=5 and y=-7
