Answer:

(x, y) = (326, 457)

Explanation:

Use the first equation to make an expression for y that can be substituted into the second.

y = 783 -x

10x +7(783 -x) = 6459

3x = 978 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 7(783) = 5481

x = 326 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

y = 783 -326 = 457

The solution is (x, y) = (326, 457).

X+y =783 10x+7y=6459​-example-1
