Answer:
x = 1 y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = 7
- Subtract x from both sides.
3y = -x + 7
- Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.
y = -1/3x + 7/3
- Plug the value of y into the other equation.
3x + 4(-1/3x + 7/3) = 11
3x - 4/3x + 28/3 = 11
- Add like terms.
5/3x + 28/3 = 11
5/3x = 5/3
x = 1
- Plug the value of x into the equation.
x + 3y = 7
(1) + 3y = 7
3y = 6
y = 2

Answer:
b. 3x - (5y -7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent "a number". Let y represent "another number."
The "3 times a number" is represented by 3x.
And "5 times another number less 7" is represented by 5y -7.
The difference between these quantities is the second subtracted from the first:
... 3x - (5y -7) . . . . matches selection b.
