Answer:
x=2, y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x-y=-17
7x-5y=-1
Add the two equations together to eliminate x
-7x-y=-17
7x-5y=-1
-------------------
-6y = -18
Divide by -6
-6y/-6 = -18/-6
y = 3
Now we need to find x
7x -5y = -1
7x -5(3) = -1
7x -15 = -1
Add 15 to each side
7x -15+15 = -1+15
7x = 14
Divide by 7
7x/7 = 14/7
x =2
