Answer:

(-1,1)

Explanation:

4(6y-7)+y=-3

24y+y=-3+28 (put them in like terms)

25y/25=25/25 (divide both side by 25)

y=1

x=6×1-7(already we get y and replace it by 1)

x=-1

(-1,1)

Answer:

(- 1, 1 )

Explanation:

x = 6y - 7 → (1)

4x + y = - 3 → (2)

substitute x = 6y - 7 into (2)

4(6y - 7) + y = - 3 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

24y - 28 + y = - 3

25y - 28 = - 3 ( add 28 to both sides )

25y = 25 ( divide both sides by 25 )

y = 1

substitute y = 1 into (1)

x = 6(1) - 7 = 6 - 7 = - 1

solution is (- 1, 1 )
