    x = 1; y = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2x + 3y = 13;

    y = 7x - 2

    Since the second equation is already solved for y, substitute y of the first equation with 7x - 2.

    -2x + 3y = 13

    -2x + 3 (7x - 2) = 13

    -2x + 21x - 6 = 13

    19x - 6 = 13

    19x = 19

    x = 1

    Now substitute x of the second equation with 1 and solve for y.

    y = 7x - 2

    y = 7 (1) - 2

    y = 7 - 2

    y = 5

    Solution: x = 1; y = 5

    shoot this is wrong dont look

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If I know this ...

    You would have to plug in y in equation two for y in equation one. So it would become:

    -2x+3 (7x-2) = 13

    And simplifying that further it would be:

    -2x+21x-6=13

    Combining like terms would looks like this:

    19x=7

    And solving for x would looks like this:

    x=7/19
