To solve the system of linear equations:

1. \(2x + y - 2 = 9\) 
2. \(-x + 6y + 22 = -17\)
3. \(5x + 7y + 2 = 4\)

Let's simplify each equation first:

### Simplifying Equations:
1. \(2x + y - 2 = 9\)
   - Simplified: \(2x + y = 11\)  — (Equation 1)

2. \(-x + 6y + 22 = -17\)
   - Simplified: \(-x + 6y = -39\) — (Equation 2)

3. \(5x + 7y + 2 = 4\)
   - Simplified: \(5x + 7y = 2\)  — (Equation 3)

### Solving the System of Equations:

Now let's solve this system using substitution or elimination methods. I'll proceed with elimination for clarity.

1. **Multiply Equation 1 by 1 (as it doesn't need scaling for the elimination process):**

   \[ 2x + y = 11 \]

2. **Multiply Equation 2 by 2 to align terms with Equation 1:**

   \[ -2x + 12y = -78 \]

3. **Add the scaled Equation 2 to Equation 1 to eliminate \(x\):**

\[
(2x + y) + (-2x + 12y) = 11 - 78 
\]

\[
13y = -67 \implies y = -\frac{67}{13}
\]

4. **Substitute \( y = -\frac{67}{13} \) into Equation 1 to find \(x\):**

\[
2x + \left(-\frac{67}{13}\right) = 11 
\]

\[
2x = 11 + \frac{67}{13} 
\]

\[
2x = \frac{143 + 67}{13} = \frac{210}{13} \implies x = \frac{105}{13}
\]

5. **Substitute \( x = \frac{105}{13} \) and \( y = -\frac{67}{13} \) into Equation 3 to check the validity:**

\[
5 \times \frac{105}{13} + 7 \times \left(-\frac{67}{13}\right) = 2
\]

\[
\frac{525}{13} - \frac{469}{13} = 2 
\]

\[
\frac{56}{13} = 2  \text{ which is correct.}
\]

### Solution:
\[
x = \frac{105}{13}, \quad y = -\frac{67}{13}
\]
