To solve the system of equations: 1. From the second equation \( 7 - 14y = 8 \), we can simplify it: \[ -14y = 8 - 7 \] \[ -14y = 1 \] Dividing both sides by -14 gives: \[ y = -\frac{1}{14} \] 2. Now, substitute \( y = -\frac{1}{14} \) into the first equation: \[ -x + 2\left(-\frac{1}{14}\right) = -1 \] This simplifies to: \[ -x - \frac{2}{14} = -1 \] \[ -x - \frac{1}{7} = -1 \] \[ -x = -1 + \frac{1}{7} \] Converting -1 to a fraction: \[ -1 = -\frac{7}{7} \] So, \[ -x = -\frac{7}{7} + \frac{1}{7} \] \[ -x = -\frac{6}{7} \] Thus, \[ x = \frac{6}{7} \] The solution can be expressed as the ordered pair \( (x, y) \): \( \left( \frac{6}{7}, -\frac{1}{14} \right) \)
