Answer:

x = 8

y = 10

Explanation:

We are given the equations;

-3x + 4Y = 16

3x - y =14

We are required to solve the two equations simultaneously using elimination

In this case, we will eliminate one unknown;

We eliminate x by adding the two equations;

That is;

-3x + 4Y = 16

3x - y =14

.............................

3y = 30

y = 10

Solving for x

3x - (10) = 14

3x = 14 +10

3x = 24

x = 8

Therefore, the solution of the equation is x=8 and y=10
