To solve the system of equations by substitution, follow these steps in order:

  1. Rearrange one of the equations to isolate one variable.
    Suppose we take the second equation:
    \(x - 2y = 11\)
    Rearranging gives:
    \(x = 2y + 11\)

  2. Substitute the expression for the isolated variable into the other equation.
    Substitute \(x = 2y + 11\) into the first equation:
    \(-7(2y + 11) - 2y = -13\)

  3. Simplify the resulting equation.
    Distributing:
    \(-14y - 77 - 2y = -13\)
    Combine like terms:
    \(-16y - 77 = -13\)

  4. Solve for the variable.
    Adding 77 to both sides:
    \(-16y = 64\)
    Dividing by -16:
    \(y = -4\)

  5. Substitute back to find the other variable.
    Substitute \(y = -4\) back into \(x = 2y + 11\):
    \(x = 2(-4) + 11 = -8 + 11 = 3\)

  6. Write the final solution as an ordered pair.
    The solution is:
    \((3, -4)\)

In summary, the correct order of responses is:

  1. \(x - 2y = 11 \rightarrow x = 2y + 11\)
  2. \(-7(2y + 11) - 2y = -13\)
  3. \(-14y - 77 = -13\)
  4. \(-16y = 64\)
  5. \(y = -4\)
  6. \(x = 3\)
  7. \((3, -4)\)
