We can solve this by substitution method.
Look at the second equation. If we rearrange to find 7x, we can substitute in the value into the first equation.
[tex]5y-7x=12[/tex]
[tex]5y-7x-12=0[/tex]
[tex]5y-12=7x[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]7x=5y-12[/tex]
Now replace the 7x in the first equation with 5y - 12:
[tex]2y+7x=-5[/tex] (substitute in 7x = 5y - 12)
[tex]2y+(5y-12)=-5[/tex]
[tex]7y-12=-5[/tex]
[tex]7y=7[/tex]
[tex]y=1[/tex]
Now that we know y, we can find x by substituting in y = 1 into any equation we want. I will use the equation: 7x = 5y - 12
[tex]7x=5y-12[/tex] (substitute in y = 1)
[tex]7x=5(1) -12[/tex]
[tex]5x=5-12[/tex]
[tex]7x=-7[/tex]
[tex]x=-1[/tex]
