Question

Solve the system. 3x + 4y = 7 2x-y=1 What does x and y equal

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1 y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the elimination method.
3x+4y=7
2x-y = 1 (multiply both sides by 4)
8x-4y=4
3x+4y=7

(add both equations together)
11x=11
x=1
Plug x=1 into either of the equations
2(1) - y=1
2-y=1
2=1+y
y=1
