Answer:


\displaystyle [-2, -1]

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

To use the Elimination method, you must get rid of one pair of variables, so that one side is set to zero. So, in this case, we must get rid of
\displaystyle x,therefore we will split the second equation in negative half :


\displaystyle \left \{ {{y = 2x + 3} \atop {-(1)/(2)[y = 4x + 7]}} \right. \\ \\ \\ \left \{ {{y = 2x + 3} \atop {-(1)/(2)y = -2x - 3(1)/(2)}} \right. \\ \\ (1)/(2)y = -(1)/(2); -1 = y, -2 = x \\ \\ \\ \boxed{[-2, -1]}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
