You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7%283x-4%29%2B3x=-4
21x-28%2B3x=-4
24x=28-4
24x=24
cross%28x=6%29
x=1
and you should be able to find the y-coordinate.

24x=24______x=6 <====== WRONG!!

x+%3C%3E+6 as the other person states.

If you look, it should be quite clear where he made the mistake!
