Use elimination to solve this system of equations:

1. \( x - 4y = -11 \)
2. \( 5x - 7y = -10 \)

x-4y=-11<=> -5x + 20y = 55 5x - 7y = -10 =>0 x + 13 y = 45 => y =45/13 => x = 4*(45/13) -11 = 180/13 -11 => x = 37/13;

Using elimination, we transformed the equations to eliminate one variable, leading to values of x = 13 37 ​ and y = 13 45 ​ . First, we multiplied the first equation to align coefficients, then subtracted to isolate y . Finally, we substituted back into one of the original equations to find x .
