Step-by-step explanation: i hope i did it right tell if i didnt
Answer:

multiply all terms in the top equation by 2
multiply all terms in the second equation by -7. it would then add the two equations together to cancel out the variable x
You will then have two equations in terms of y
solve for y and either equation then substitute that value for y into the other equation then solve for x
