Equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+2y=16 \\ 2x+3y=14 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's multiply -1 by Eq 1

[tex]\begin{gathered} -2x-2y=-16 \\ 2x+3y=14 \\ 2x-2x+3y-2y=-16+14 \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+2y=16 \\ x=\frac{16-2y}{2} \\ x=\frac{16-2\cdot(-2)}{2} \\ x=\frac{16+4}{2} \\ x=\frac{20}{2} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer would be (10, -2)
