You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the system by graphing 2x+y=-7 &  5x+4y=-13. I How do I solve the problems to get the solutions to graph. --------------
 You don't "get the solution to graph."
 You graph the 2 equations.  Each is a straight line.  Every point on the line is a solution to that equation.
 ---
 Where they intersect, the point that's on both equations, is the solution to the system of equations.
 -----------
 2x+y=-7
 y = -2x - 7
 You need 2 points for a straight line.
 Pick 2 values for x and find y.
 Plot the 2 points.
 Draw a line thru them.
 ====================
 Do the same for the other equation.
