x=
y=​

Answer 1

(2,3)

Explanation:

use the equal values method.

set y equal to itself.

y = -2x+7 but also 5x-7

-2x+7=5x-7 ............................. solve the equation

7x=14

x=2

Now substitute the x value into one of the equations given. for example i'll do -2x+7.

-2(2) +7 =y

-4+7=y

3=y

so thats your answer

x=2, y=3
