Answer:


((5)/(7),(12)/(7))

Explanation:

The given system is


5x+2y=7


y=x+1

We substitute the bottom equation into the top equation to get:


5x+2(x+1)=7

Expand to get:


5x+2x+2=7

Group similar terms:


5x+2x=7-2

Combine similar terms:


7x=5


x=(5)/(7)

Put
x=(5)/(7) into the bottom equation


y=(5)/(7)+1


y=(5+7)/(7)


y=(12)/(7)

The solution is


((5)/(7),(12)/(7))
