    First, you have to plug the coefficients (the left side) into a 2x2 matrix.
    matrix A= [7 -8]
    [1 -1]
    Then, plug in the answers (the right side) to a 2x1 matrix.
    Matrix B= [-21]
    [ -2]
    Multiply the inverse of Matrix A by the original form of Matrix B.

    The solutions of the multiplication will be your x and y, in that order.
