7x-3y+5=16 ⇒ 7x - 3y = 11 (1)
4y=3x+17 ⇒ -3x + 4y = 17 (2)
Multiply the first equation through by 4 and the second through by 3....and we have
28x -12y = 44
-9x + 12y = 51 add these
19x = 95 divide both sides by 19
x = 5
And using (1) we can find y
7(5) - 3y = 11
35 - 3y = 11 add 3y to both sides and subtract 11 from both sides
24 = 3y divide both sides by 3
8 = y
So
(x , y) = ( 5, 8)
