Answer:

The solution in point form is (9,7) and the equation would be x+9, y=7

Explanation:

By using moving the -4y to the right side and by flipping the signs you can turn the equation -x-4y=-37 into x=37-4y.

With this new equation you can use the substitution method and replace the x in -2x-5y=-53 with 37-4y, making it look like this: -2(37-4y)-5y=-53.

Then you solve for y getting y=7.

With the value of y, you can plug that into the equation x=37-4y so it will look like x=37-4(7)

Then you solve for x getting x=9

And with that you get the point (9,7)
