Answer:
[tex]x = - 1 \\ y = 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x - y = - 2 [/tex]
[tex]x = y - 2[/tex]
[tex]7x + 2y = - 5[/tex]
[tex]7(y - 2) + 2y = - 5 \\ [/tex]
[tex]7y - 14 + 2y = - 5[/tex]
[tex]9y = 14 - 5[/tex]
[tex]9y = 9[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{9}{9} = 1[/tex]
[tex]x = y - 2 = 1 - 2 = - 1[/tex]
