Answer:

(x, y) = (0, -1)

Explanation:

Since we have an expression for y, it is convenient to substitute that into the second equation:

4x -7(-7x -1) = 7

4x +49x +7 = 7

53x = 0

x = 0

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

y = -7·0 -1

y = -1

The solution is (x, y) = (0, -1).

Y = -7x -1 4x - 7y = 7-example-1
