are you like stalking me now? lol @DivineSolar

@maddybz No, look up the definition of stalking, this is an area of my expertise.

\[3x-y=7 \] subtract 3x from both sides \[-y=-3x+7\] divide everything by negative y \[y=3x-7\] now use substitution and plug this in equation 2 :) \[2x-2(3x-7)=2\] solve this and get \[2x-6x+14=2\] combine like terms \[-4x=-12\] divide by -4 on both sides x=3 now plug that into 1st equation \[y=3(3)-7\] solve \[y=9-7\] y=2
