Finish solving the system of equations -9.5x -2.5y = -4.3 and 7x + 2.5y = 0.8 using the linear combination method.
1 Determine which variable will be eliminated: y will be eliminated because -2.5y and 2.5y are opposite terms.
2. Add the equations together to create a one-variable linear equation: -2.5x = -3.5
3. Solve to determine the unknown variable in the equation:
x = 1.4
4. Substitute the value of the variable into either original equation to solve for the other variable.
The solution to the system is
