Let us suppose the given system of equations as
7x + 6y = -48 ---- (1)
x - 3y = -3 ---- (2)
Let us employ the elimination method to eliminate x.
Multiplying (2) by 7, we get
7x - 21y = -21 ---- (3)
Subtracting (1) from (3), we get
y = -1
Plugging in the value of 'y' in any of the equations (1), (2), we get
x = -6
Hence, the solution to the given system of linear equations is x = -6 and y = -1.
