Explanation:

8x + 14y = 4 ...1

-6x - 7y = -10 ...2

...2 × 2 in 2 sides of the equation

-12x -14y = -20 ...3

...1 + ...3

8x + 14y +(-12x -14y) = 4 +(-20)

8x + 14y - 12x -14y = 4 - 20

-4x = -16

x = (-16)/(-4)

= 4

replace x in ...1 or ...2 you will reserve y value

and answer in the term of (x,y)
