4(3x+6y = 42)

3(-7x+8y = -109)

Multiply all terms in the top equation by 4 and in the bottom by 3:

12x+24y = 168

-21x+24y = -327

Subtract the bottom equation from the top remembering that a minus from a minus is equal to a plus:

33x = 495

Divide both sides by 33:

x = 15

Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y:

Therefore: x = 15 and y = -1/2
