Substitute x=3y-7 into the second equation to solve for y.

x=3y-7

Substitution Property of Equality:

y=(3y-7)+1

Solve for y - combine like terms:

-7+1=-6:

y=3y-6

Subtract 3y from both sides:

y-3y=-6

-2y=-6

Divide both sides by -2:

-2y/-2=-6/-2

y=3

Now, let’s plug y=3 back into the first equation to solve for x:

x=3(3)-7

x=9-7

x=2

So, the solution is: (2, 3)
