Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Given:

  • y = -2x + 7
  • y = 5х – 7

If y = -2x + 7 and y = 5х – 7, then -2x + 7 = 5х – 7. Now, let's solve.

=> -2x + 7 = 5х – 7

=> 7x = 14

=> x = 2

Since we found 'x', let's find 'y' with the given clue using one equation among any of the two equations.

=> y = 5х – 7

=> y = 5(2) - 7

=> y = 10 - 7

=> y = 3

Hoped this helped.
