Answer:

  • x=1
  • y=1

Explanation:

This looks like it is intended to represent two equations. They can be solved as a system in any of the usual ways.

The two equations seem to be ...

  • 4x -y = 3
  • x -4y = -3y

Solution

Adding 4y to the second equation gives ...

x -4y +4y = -3y +4y

x = y . . . . . . . . simplify

Substituting for y in the first equation gives ...

4x -x = 3

3x = 3 . . . . simplify

x = 1 . . . . . divide by 3

y = 1 . . . . . same as x

The variables x and y both have a value of 1.

The attachment shows a graphical solution to these equations.
