Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

7x - y = 7

x + 2y = 6

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

Equation: x + 2y = 6

1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2y on both sides:                    x = 6 - 2y

Step 3: Redefine Systems

7x - y = 7

x = 6 - 2y

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitution

1. Substitute in x:                                                                                                7(6 - 2y) - y = 7
2. Distribute 7:                                                                                                    42 - 14y - y = 7
3. Combine like terms:                                                                                       42 - 15y = 7
4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 42 on both sides:                    -15y = -35
5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -15 on both sides:                             y = 7/3

Step 5: Solve for x

1. Define original equation:                                                                               x + 2y = 6
2. Substitute in y:                                                                                                x + 2(7/3) = 6
3. Multiply:                                                                                                           x + 14/3 = 6
4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 14/3 on both sides:                  x = 4/3
