Answer:

equation 1: y=-x+7

equation2: y=3x+10

We can substract equation 1 by equation2  inorder to get the x value

(y-y) = 3x+10 -(-x+7)

0= 3x+10+x-7

0=4x+3

4x=-3

x=-3/4

Now we can substitute x value to equation 1,

y= -(-3/4)+7 =3/4+7= (3+28)/4 =31/4

Therefore, common point is (-3/4, 31/4)
