(underlinecolor(red)3,11) is a solution to 6x-y=7

Explanation:

Note I have used the letter a in place of the underscore from the original version of the question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If (color(red)x,color(blue)(y))=(color(red)a,color(blue)(11))
is a solution to 6color(red)x-color(blue)y = 7
then
color(white)("XXX")6color(red)a-color(blue)(11)=7
rarr
color(white)("XXX")6color(red)a=18
rarr
color(white)("XXX")color(red)a=3
