Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination.

8x + 7y = 39

4x – 14y = –68

Multiply the first equation to enable the elimination of the y-term.
Add the equations to eliminate the y-terms.
Solve the new equation for the x-value.
Substitute the x-value back into either original equation to find the y-value.
Check the solution.
