To solve this system of linear equations, we need to find the values of x and y that make both equations true at the same time. One method to solve this is to use elimination or substitution.

First, let's rearrange the first equation:

y = 2x

Next, we can substitute y = 2x into the second equation:

-7x + 3y = 2

-7x + 3(2x) = 2

-7x + 6x = 2

-x = -2

So, x = 2.

Finally, we can use the first equation to find y:

y = 2x

y = 2 * 2

y = 4

So, the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (2, 4).
