-3x - 5y = -7
-4x + 5y = 14

x=-1, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Summing these equations, we will obtain,

-7x =7

Therefore, x=-1

If we put x in the first equation,

(-3*-1)-5y=-7

3-5y=-7

-5y=-10

y=2

x=-1, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-5y=-7

-4x+5y=14

-7x=7

x=-1

-3x-5y=-7

-3(-1)-5y=-7

3-5y=-7

-5y=-10

y=2
