Answer: (4, 3)

Explanation:

-4x + 3(2x-5) = -7 // substitute y=2x-5 for y in the first equation

-4x + 6x - 15 = -7 // simplify by distributing the 3

2x = 8 // add 15 to both sides and simplify

x = 4 // divide both sides by 2

Now that we know x=4, we can substitute this value into either equation to find y. Let's use y=2x-5:

y = 2(4) - 5 = 3

the solution to the system of equations is (4, 3).
