Answer:

y=14, and x=-2

(-2,14)

Explanation:

Isolate the term of x and y from one side of the equation.

y=4x+22 and y=-7x

y=-7x=4x+22

Solve.

-7x=4x+22

x=2

Substitute.

y=-7x, x=-2

y=-7(-2)

Solve.

Multiply.

y=14

(-2,14)

Therefore, the final answer is (-2,14).

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
