15x+7y = 4
5x+7y = 2
Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation to eliminate y which will leave you with:
10x = 2
Divide both sides by 10 to find the value of x:
x = 2/10 = 1/5 in its lowest terms.
Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y:
Therefore: x = 1/5 and y = 1/7
