Answer:

y = 7 x = -11/3

Explanation:

3x + 4y = 17

- (3x + 2y = 3)

Distribute the minus sign and add together

3x + 4y = 17

- 3x - 2y = -3

------------------------

2y = 14

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 14/2

y = 7

Now find x

3x + 4y = 17

3x +4(7) = 17

3x +28 = 17

Subtract 28 from each side

3x+28 -28 = 17 -28

3x = -11

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = -11/3

x = -11/3
