1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations by substitution:
$$\begin{cases} x = 2y - 6 \\ y = 3x - 7 \end{cases}$$
2. **Use substitution method:** Since the first equation expresses $x$ in terms of $y$, substitute $x = 2y - 6$ into the second equation.
3. Substitute:
$$y = 3(2y - 6) - 7$$
4. Simplify the right side:
$$y = 6y - 18 - 7$$
$$y = 6y - 25$$
5. Rearrange to isolate $y$:
$$y - 6y = -25$$
$$\cancel{y} - 6\cancel{y} = -25$$
$$-5y = -25$$
6. Divide both sides by $-5$:
$$\frac{-5y}{\cancel{-5}} = \frac{-25}{\cancel{-5}}$$
$$y = 5$$
7. Substitute $y=5$ back into the first equation to find $x$:
$$x = 2(5) - 6$$
$$x = 10 - 6$$
$$x = 4$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{(x, y) = (4, 5)}$$
