Given Equation:

x = 7 + 3y

or, x - 3y - 7 = 0 ........ (i)

5x + 6y = 14

or, 5x + 6y - 14 = 0 .........(ii)

To Find:

The value of x and y.

Solution:

By dividing eq. ii by 2, we get

5/2x + 3y - 7 = 0 ........ (iii)

By adding eq. i and eq. iii, we get

15/2x = 0

or, x = 0 ........(iv)

By putting eq.(iv) in eq. (i), we get

0 - 3y - 7 = 0

or, -3y = 7

or, y = -7/3

Answer: ( 0, -7/3 )

The value of x and y is 0 and -7/3 respectively.
