Step 1 :Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 5 to make the coefficients of y equal: \(15x + 12y = 42\) and \(15x - 20y = 10\)
Step 2 :Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate y: \(32y = 32\)
Step 3 :Divide by 32 to find the value of y: \(y = 1\)
Step 4 :Substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations to find the value of x: \(5x + 4(1) = 14\)
Step 5 :Solve for x: \(5x = 10\) and \(x = 2\)
Step 6 :\(\boxed{x = 2}\) and \(\boxed{y = 1}\)
