Question:

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8 and y=3 (So, yes!)

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

−x+4y=4;−x+3y=1

Step: Solve −x+4y=4 for x:

−x+4y+−4y=4+−4y(Add -4y to both sides)

−x=−4y+4

-x/-1 = -4y+4/-1 (Divide both sides by -1)

x=4y−4

Step: Substitute 4y−4 for x in −x+3y=1:

−x+3y=1

−(4y−4)+3y=1

−y+4=1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−y+4+−4=1+−4(Add -4 to both sides)

−y=−3

-y/-1 = -3/-1 (Divide both sides by -1)

y=3

Step: Substitute 3 for y in x=4y−4:

=4y−4

x=(4)(3)−4

x=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=8 and y=3
