This is straight forward:
You have already said:    y = 2x - 5 ...........(i)
                                             4x - y = 7............(ii)
So anywhere we see, y in equation (ii) we replace it with (2x - 5).
                                            4x - (2x - 5) = 7
                                             4x - 2x + 5  = 7
 Note minus sign before the bracket, changes sign inside the bracket.
                                              2x  + 5 = 7
                                              2x =  7 - 5.
                                              2x = 2        Divide both sides by 2.
                                                x  = 2/2
                                                x =1.
Remember from (i)  y = 2x - 5,  y = 2*1 - 5 = 2-5 = -3.
Therefore,  x = 1,    y = -3.
Those are the steps.
