EQUATION #1) 2x=y-10
EQUATION #2) x+7=y

On both equations, move the equation around so that both variables are on the same side of the equal sign.

1) 2x-y=-10
2) x-y=-7

Subtract equations together.

1) 2x-y=-10
2) x-y=-7

x=-3

Plug x into equation number 2.

1) x+7=y

1) (2) + 7 = y

9=y

y=9

~Hope I helped!~
