Answer:

(1
(1)/(3), 2
(1)/(3) )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

7x - y = 7 → (1)

x + 2y = 6 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

14x - 2y = 14 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

15x = 20 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x =
(20)/(15) =
(4)/(3) = 1
(1)/(3)

Substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting in (2)


(4)/(3) + 2y = 6

2y = 6 -
(4)/(3) =
(14)/(3) ( divide both sides by 2 )

y =
(7)/(3) = 2
(1)/(3)
