x + 2y = 4 (A)

y = 2x + 7 (B)

2*(B) gives: 2y = 4x + 14

Substitute the right hand side for 2y in (A) to give: x + (4x + 14) = 4

Simplify: 5x + 14 = 4

Subtract 14 from both sides: 5x = -10

Divide both sides by 5: x = -2

Substitute for x in (B): y = 2*(-2) + 7 = -4 + 7 = 3

Solution: (x, y) = (-2, 3)
