Since −3x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides.
y=5x−7 
−2y=3x−12

Divide each term in the equation by −2.
y=5x−7 
y=−3x/2+6

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.
