Question

4x + 3y = 16 7x+6y=31 O A. (1,3) B. (1.4) C. (4,0) OD. (4,3) SUBMIT

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x + 3y = 16 → (1)

7x + 6y = 31 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the term in y

- 8x - 6y = - 32 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

- x = - 1 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 in either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting in (1)

4(1) + 3y = 16

4 + 3y = 16 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3y = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 4

Solution is (1, 4 ) → B
