Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)
You have the equations...
2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14
To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...
2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28
Thus,
6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28
=========
-7y=-7
y=1
Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....
2x+(1)=7
2x+1=7
-1 -1
2x=6
x=3
Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)
