I knew I wouldn't have gotten it correct -_-
I tried 8 but it's obviously completely wrong. *sigh*
x+7y=23
-7y -7y
x=23-7y
8(23-7y)-3y=7
184-56y-3y=7
and here is where it all goes wrong...
184-53y=7
-184 -184
53y=-177
/53 /53
y=-3.34 or something like that >.<
and i'll wait to see if i'm even correct first
