Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator can find a solution quickly. (see attached)
__
The first equation can give an expression for y:
y = 3x -7
We can substitute this into the second equation:
2x +3(3x -7) = 1
11x -21 = 1 . . . . . . simplify
11x = 22 . . . . . . . add 21
x = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3(2) -7 = -1 . . . . using our equation for y
The solution is (x, y) = (2, -1).
