Answer:

(14,-1)

Explanation:

okay so first you need to use the "x=4y+10" in the first equation.

Rewrite as

3(4y+10) +11y=7

Distribute the 3(4y+10)

Rewrite as

12y+30

You'll have the equation

12y +30 +11y= 7

Subtract the 7 from both sides

12y+30+11y-7= 0

Combine like terms

23y+23=0

the best thing to do here is divide the equation by 23.

23/23 = 1

you'll have

y + 1 = 0

this simplifies to

y= -1

use this y value to solve for x

the easiest way to do this is start with the equation

x = 4y +10

Substitute the y for -1

x = -4(-1) +10

x = 4 +10

x = 14

the solution point is

(14,-1)
