Answer:
(10, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve by Substitution
2x − 4y = 8 and 7x − 3y = 61
Solve for x in the first equation.
x = 4 + 2y 7x − 3y = 61
Replace all occurrences of x with 4 + 2y in each e quation.
Replace all occurrences of x in 7x − 3y = 61 with 4 + 2y. 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y = 61
x = 4 + 2y
Simplify 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y.
28 + 11y = 61
x = 4 + 2y
Solve for y in the first equation.
Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.
11y = 33
x = 4 + 2y
Divide each term by 11 and simplify.
y = 3
x = 4 + 2y
Replace all occurrences of y with 3 in each equation.
Replace all occurrences of y in x = 4 + 2y with 3. x = 4 + 2 (3)
y = 3
Simplify 4 + 2 (3).
x = 10
y = 3
The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.
