Answer:

(x, y ) = (3, 14 )

Explanation:

since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides

7x - 7 = 6x - 4 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

x - 7 = - 4 ( add 7 to both sides )

x = 3

substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations for y

using y = 6x - 4 = (6 × 3 ) - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14

solution is (3, 14 )
