Hi there!

To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.

Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y

3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1

Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:

y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1

So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.

Hope this helps!
