Solve the system of equations.
5x+2y=14
x−6y=22 (1 point)
(___,___)
Let's try solving this system of equations again:
Given equations:
5x + 2y = 14 ...(1)
x - 6y = 22 ...(2)
We can solve equation (2) in terms of x:
x = 6y + 22
Now, substitute this expression for x into equation (1):
5(6y + 22) + 2y = 14
30y + 110 + 2y = 14
32y + 110 = 14
32y = 14 - 110
32y = -96
y = -3
Now, substitute y = -3 back into equation (2) to solve for x:
x - 6(-3) = 22
x + 18 = 22
x = 22 - 18
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:
(x, y) = (4, -3)
(8,-2)

To solve this system of equations simultaneously, you can use the substitution method or the elimination method. Here, I will use the elimination method.
Given equations:
5x + 2y = 14 ...(1)
x - 6y = 22 ...(2)
To use the elimination method, we can multiply equation (2) by 2 so that the coefficients of y in both equations will cancel out when adding the two equations.
2(x - 6y) = 2(22)
2x - 12y = 44
Now, we have:
5x + 2y = 14 ...(1)
2x - 12y = 44
Adding these two equations gives:
5x + 2x = 14 + 44
7x - 12y = 58
Simplify this:
7x - 12y = 58
Now, we have a new equation:
7x - 12y = 58
To solve for x, we divide throughout by 7:
x = 58/7
x = 8.2857 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Now that we have x, we can substitute it back into equation (1) to find y.
5(8.2857) + 2y = 14
41.4286 + 2y = 14
2y = 14 - 41.4286
2y = -27.4286
y = -13.7143 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:
(x, y) = (8.2857, -13.7143)
