Remark

There are two ways to do this. You can graph the equations (which I have included at the end of the question using Desmos) or you can solve it algebraically which in this case is going to be slightly painful.

Algebra

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 3

<em><u>First Equation</u></em>

4 [3x + 4y = 16]

12x + 16y = 64             (3)

<em><u>Second Equation</u></em>

3 [-4x - 3y = - 19]

- 12x - 9y = - 57           (4)

Add (3) and (4)

12x + 16y = 64

<u>- 12x - 9y = -57 </u>           Add

7y = 7                           Divide by 7

y = 1

Solve for x

3x + 4y = 16         Let y = 1

3x + 4(1) = 16

3x + 4 = 16           Subtract 4

3x = 12                 Divide by 3

x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer

(4,1) just as the graph suggests.

Answer:

(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 16

-4x - 3y = -19

4( 3x + 4y = 16)

3( -4x - 3y = -19)

Distribute

12x + 16y = 64

-12x - 9y = -57

Now subtract both equations

7y = 7

/7 on both sides

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in one of the equations.

3x + 4y = 16

3x + 4(1) = 16

-4 on both sides

3x = 12

/3 on both sides

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

y = 1

I don't understand how to do this, can someone please help me?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First find a common denominator between 7 and 4 which is 28, Multiply both equations by 28 eliminating the denominators so now you have theses two equations: 4(2x + 12) = 7(3x + 5) distribute these equations to get:

8x + 48 = 21x +35 now you want to get the x's on one side so 8-21 = -13 which as an equation so far would be -13x + 48 = 35 now do 35-48 = -13 so you can have 13x alone on one side. Your final equation now before you solve is

-13x = -13 the divide -13 by -13 to get 1.

Hope this helps you understand it better
