Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

6x−7y = 5;−4x+7y=−1

6x−7y=5

−4x+7y=−1

Add these equations to eliminate y:

2x = 4

Then solve2x = 4for x:

2x = 4

(Divide both sides by 2)

x = 2

Now let's plug x in to solve for y.

6x - 7y = 5

6(2) - 7y = 5

12 - 7y = 5

subtract 12 on both sides.

-7y = -7

divide both sides by -1

y = 1
