Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

To solve, choose a value of x or y, substitute into the equation and evaluate for the other variable.

Choose x = 2, then

3(2) + 4y = 10

6 + 4y = 10 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

4y = 4 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 1

Thus (2, 1 ) is a solution to the equation

Either the question is printed wrong..

Or the answer should simply be

3x + 4y = 10
