Substitute y=1: Substitute y=1 into the equation –x−7y=–11 and then simplify.Substitute 1 for y in –x−7y=–11.–x−7(1)=–11–x−7=–11
Isolate variable term x: Isolate the variable term x.−x−7=−11Add 7 to both sides of the equation.−x−7+7=−11+7−x=−4
Solve for x: Solve for x.−x=−4Multiply both sides by −1 to get x.x=4
Find ordered pair solution: We found:x=4y=1What is the solution in the form of an ordered pair?Substitute x=4 and y=1 into (x,y).The solution is (4,1).
