7x-2y=4
3x+5y=10

so we can eliminate

eliminate y's
2 times 5=10
multiply first by 5 and 2nd by 2 and add

35x-10y=20
6x+10y=20 +
41x+0y=40

41x=40
divide both sides by 41
x=40/41

sub back

7x-2y=4
solve for y first to make it easier
-2y=4-7x
y=(7/2)x-2
y=(7/2)(40/41)-2
y=(280/82)-2
y=140/41-2
y=140/41-82/41
y=58/41


(x,y)
(40/41,58/41)
