WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!!
neonofarm [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = y-10

Rewrite as: 2x + 10 = y

Therefore:

2x+10 = y

2x +7 = 2y

Subtract the equations:

 2x + 10 = y

- 2x + 7 = 2y

______________

          3 = -y

Therefore y = -3

Substiture y = -3 into the second equation:

2x + 7 = 2(-3)

2x + 7 = -6

2x = -13

x= -6.5

Answer : (-6.5, -3)
