Answer:

x = -1, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the top equation by 2:

[tex]2x - 2y = - 4[/tex]

Leaving the bottom equation unchanged, add the two resulting equations to eliminate y, obtaining:

[tex]9x = - 9[/tex]

Solve this for x, and then substitute this value of x into the bottom equation. Finally, solve for y.

[tex]x = - 1[/tex]

[tex]7( - 1) + 2y = - 5[/tex]

[tex] - 7 + 2y = - 5[/tex]

[tex]2y = 2[/tex]

[tex]y = 1[/tex]
