Answer:

x=2, y=1

Explanation:

The left and right sides are equal

7x-2 = 5x+2

Subtract 5x from each side

7x -5x-2 = 5x-5x+2

2x-2 = 2

Add 2 to each side

2x -2+2 = 2+2

2x = 4

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x =2

The top and the bottom are the same length

6x+y = 7x-1

6(2) +y = 7(2)-1

12 +y = 14-1

Subtract 12 from each side

12 +y-12 = 13-12

y = 1
