The first equation contains variable y by itself, so the best algebraic approach to solving the problem is solving the first equation for y and substituting in the second equation.

x=-3/17 or x=1

x=1 --> y=-4(1)+7/2=-1/2
First solution: (x,y) = (1,-1/2)

x=-3/17 --> y=-4(-3/17)+7/2=12/17+7/2=24/34+119/34=143/34
Second solution: (x,y) = (-3/17,143/34)

You can confirm the solutions using an online graphing utility like geogebra (geogebra.org).
