Answer:

Solution is
(1,6)

Explanation:

An equation of the form
ax+by+c=0 where
a,b,c are coefficients and
x,y are variables is a linear equation in two variables This equation is linear as here power of variables
x,y is 1. Also, this equation contains two variables
x,y. Solution of this equation refers to the values of
x,y which satisfies this equation. We can say
\left ( x_0,y_0 \right ) satisfies the equation
ax+by+c=0 if
ax_0+by_0+c=0 .

Given:
x+y=7

Take
(x_0,y_0)=(1,6)


(x_0,y_0) satisfies this equation if
x_0+y_0=7

L.H.S


x_0+y_0=1+6=7

R.HS

7

As
L.H.S=R.H.S , so , point
\left ( x_0,y_0 \right )=\left ( 1,6 \right ) satisfies this equation
