Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Substituting y = 3x - 4 into the equation gives

7x - 5(3x - 4) = 4 ← distribute and simplify left side

7x - 15x + 20 = 4

- 8x + 20 = 4 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

- 8x = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into y = 3x - 4

y = 3(2) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
