2y - x = 3

y = -5x + 7

Rewrite the second

y + 5x = 7

Mutiply it by 2

2y + 10x = 14

Now subtract the first equation from this:

2y + 10x = 14

2y - x = 3

11x = 11

Divide both sides by 11: x = 1

Substitute for x in the first equation:

2y - 1 = 3

Add 1 to both sides: 2y = 4

Divide both sides by 2: y = 2

Answer: (x, y) = (1, 2)
