Answer:

x=3 y=-1

Explanation:

substitute into one of the equations: 4x+2x-7=11

rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: 4x+2x=11+7

combine like terms: 6x=18

divide both sides by x: x=18/6

calculate to product: x=3

Same thing for y:

y=2x3-7

y=6-7

y=-1

Solution:

x=3

y=-1
