Use elimination to solve the system 4x + 7y = –14 and 8x + 5y = 8 for x. Round to the nearest tenth.

x = 3.5

y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x + 7y = -14)

8x + 14y = -28

  8x + 5y = 8

- (8x + 14y = -28)

        - 9y = 36

            y = 36/-9

            y = - 4

   4x + 7y = - 14

4x + 7(- 4) = - 14

     4x -28 = - 14

            4x = 14

              x = 14/4

              x = 3.5
