To solve the system of equations given by

  1. \( x = 6y - 3 \)
  2. \( 2x + 7y = 13 \)

we will substitute the expression for \( x \) from the first equation into the second equation.

Substituting \( x = 6y - 3 \) into the second equation:

\[ 2(6y - 3) + 7y = 13 \]

Distributing \( 2 \):

\[ 12y - 6 + 7y = 13 \]

Combining the \( y \) terms:

\[ 19y - 6 = 13 \]

Now, add \( 6 \) to both sides:

\[ 19y = 19 \]

Dividing both sides by \( 19 \):

\[ y = 1 \]

Now that we have \( y \), we can find \( x \) using the first equation:

\[ x = 6(1) - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 \]

So, the solution to the system of equations is \( (x, y) = (3, 1) \).

The final answer is \( (3, 1) \).
