Answer:

(7,5)

Explanation:

First, convert each equation into slope-intercept form to make it easy to graph.

4x - 14y = -42

14y = -4x + 42

y = (4/14)x + 3

This line has a slope of 4/14 and a y-intercept of 3.

4x + 7y = 63

7y = -4x + 63

y = -(4/7)x + 9

This line has a slope of -4/7 and a y-intercept of 9.

Finally, graph the two lines and find where they intersect (see the attached image).

They intersect at (7,5).
