Question

Find the solution to the system. Write your solution as an ordered pair (x,y) with no spaces, no solution, or infinitely many. X=2y-7 and 4x+y=71

Answer 1

Answer:

(15, 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation;

X=2y-7 ..... 1

4x+y=71 ....2

Substitute 1 into2;

4(2y-7) + y = 71

8y - 28 + y = 71

9y - 28 = 71

9y = 71 + 28

9y = 99

y = 11

Substitute y = 11 into 1;

x = 2y - 7

x = 2(11)-7

x = 22-7

x = 15

hence the solution to the equation is (15, 11).
