Answer:
x = 4 , y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 14 → (1)
x + y = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y
4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y = 1
