We have the system of equations:


\begin{gathered} y=6x+11 \\ 2x-3y=7 \end{gathered}

We replace the value of y in the second equation and solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 2x-3(6x+11)=7 \\ 2x-18x-33=7 \\ -16x=7+33 \\ -16x=40 \\ x=(40)/(-16) \\ x=-2.5 \end{gathered}

Then, we calculate y:


y=6x-11=6\cdot(-2.5)-11=-15-11=-26

The solution is (x,y) = (-2.5, -26)
