Question

3x+y=7 6x+4y=22 can somebody help me solve this problem?

Answer 1

Hey there!

$\boxed{x=1;y=4}$

$3x + y = 7 \\ \\ 6x + 4y = 22$

$y = -3x + 7 \\ \\ Plug \ this \ in \ for \ variable \ (y) \ in \ equation \ \\ \\ 6x + 4*(-3x+7) = 22 \\ \\ -6x = -6 \\ \\ 6x=6 \ x+1 \\ \\ x=1 \ y=-3x+7 \\ \\ \boxed{y=-3(1)+7=4} \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{x=1;y=4}}$

I hope this helps you!
