If both linear equations are given in the form Ax+By = C, solving the system by elimination is almost always easier than solving by substitution.

And if either given equation can be simplified, doing that will nearly always make the rest of the work easier.

Multiply the second equation by 7 and add to the first equation, eliminating y:

Substitute x = 3 in either original equation and solve for y:
