The graph shows the solution of your equations is
.. (x, y) = (-6 2/3, -9 2/3)

The closest point to that of the choices offered is (-5, -7.2).

___
The offered "approximations" are not very good approximations.

we have

[tex]7x-4y=-8[/tex] -------> equation A

[tex]y=x-3[/tex] ------------> equation B

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

so

Using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The solution is the point  [tex](-6.7,-9.7)[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the closest approximate solution to the system of equations is [tex](-5,-7.2)[/tex]
