Answer:
a) x = 1 , y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 7x + 3y = 16
y = 4x - 1
or
3y + 7x = 16 ... (i)
y - 4x = -1 ... (ii)
Solving the simultaneous equation by substitution;
Equation (ii) tells us that y = 4x - 1
Substituting that in (i) gives;
3(4x - 1) + 7x = 16
12x - 3 + 7x = 16
19x = 16 + 3 = 19
x = = 1
y = 4(1) - 1 = 3
