Question

Х
Find the solution to the linear system:
y= 4x + 1
2x + 3y = 17

Answer 1

x= -1/4 x= 8.5 or 8 1/2

Explanation:

y=4x + 1

cancel out the y

y(0) =4x + 1

0=4x+1

-1 -1

-1 = 4x

divide both sides by 4

x= -1/4

2x+3y = 17

cancel out the y

2x + 3(0) =17

2x = 17

divide both sides by 2

x= 8.5 0r 8 1/2

Hope this helps!!
