Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Solve x−4y=−7 for x...

$x-4y=-7\\x=4y-7$

Step 2:

Substitute 4y−7 for x in −x+2y=3...

$-x+2y=3\\-(4y-7)+2y=3\\-4y+7+2y=3\\-2y+7=3\\-2y=-4\\y=2$

Step 3:

Substitute 2 for y in x=4y−7...

$x=4y-7\\x=4(2)-7\\x=8-7\\x=1$

So the solution of these equations is (1,2).
