Add 7y to both sides of the equation.

x=7y+7

-8y-8x=8

Replace all occurrences of x with the solution found by solving the last equation for x. In this case, the value substituted is 7y+7.

x=7y+7

y=−1

Replace all occurrences of y with the solution found by solving the last equation for y. In this case, the value substituted is −1.

x=7(−1)+7

y=−1

Simplify

x=0

y=-1
