Final answer:

To solve the given equations, we need to solve each equation individually. First, solve the equation 5 - 7y/2 + 4y = -8/7x + 7. Then, solve the equation -8/7x + 7 - 8x /3 = 17/6 - 5x / 2. Solving both equations will give us the values of x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equations: 5 - 7y/2 + 4y = -8/7x + 7 - 8x/ 3 = 17/6 - 5x / 2, we need to solve each equation individually.

First, let's solve the equation 5 - 7y/2 + 4y = -8/7x + 7. Combining like terms, we get: 5 + 7y/2 + 4y = -8/7x + 7. Bringing all the terms with y to one side and all the terms with x to the other side, we get: 11y/2 = -8/7x + 7 - 5. Simplifying further, we get: 11y/2 = -8/7x + 2.

Next, let's solve the equation -8/7x + 7 - 8x /3 = 17/6 - 5x / 2. Combining like terms, we get: -8/7x - 8x/3 + 5x/2 = 17/6 - 7. Bringing all the terms with x to one side and all the constants to the other side, we get: -8/7x - 8x/3 - 5x/2 = 17/6 - 7.

Solving both equations will give us the values of x and y.
