7x-4y = 26

5x-4y = 14

Subtract the bottom equation from the top squation remembering that a minus minus is equal to a plus therefore - 4y - - 4y = 0

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x:

x = 6

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

Therefore: x = 6 and y = 4
