Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = -x + 10

y = 7x + 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

1. Substitute in y:                           7x + 2 = -x + 10
2. Add x to both sides:                  8x + 2 = 10
3. Subtract 2 on both sides:          8x = 8
4. Divide 8 on both sides:             x = 1

Step 3: Solve for y

1. Define equation:                     y = -x + 10
2. Substitute in x:                        y = -1 + 10
3. Add:                                         y = 9
