Answer:
(x, y) = (-2.5, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you are given an expression for y, it is convenient to substitute that into the second equation.
2x -3(6x +11) = 7
2x -18x -33 = 7
-16x = 40 . . . . . . add 33
x = -40/16 = -2.5
Using the equation for y, we find ...
y = 6(-2.5) +11 = -15 +11 = -4
The solution is (x, y) = (-2.5, -4).
