$2x-3y = 7~~~....(i)\\\\y = 3x -7~~~....(ii)\\\\\\\text{Substitute}~ y = 3x -7~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\\\2x-3(3x-7) = 7\\\\\implies 2x -9x + 21 =7\\\\\implies -7x = 7 -21\\\\\implies -7x = -14\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{-14}{-7} = 2\\\\\\\text{Substitute x = 2 in equation (ii):}\\\\y=3(2) -7 = 6 -7 = -1\\\\\\\text{Hence (x,y) =(2,-1)}$

How many 10-digit ternary strings are there that contain exactly two 0s, three 1s, and five 2s?

There are $\dbinom{10}2$ ways of picking 2 of the 10 available positions for a 0. 8 positions remain.

There are $\dbinom83$ ways of picking 3 of the 8 available positions for a 1. 5 positions remain, but we're filling all of them with 2s, and there's $\dbinom55=1$ way of doing that.
