Answer:

x = 6 and y =4

Explanation:

It is given that,system of equations 3x+7y=46 and -3x-8x=-50

To find the solution

Let 3x + 7y = 46 --------(1)

-3x-8x=-50 -------(2)

eq(1) + eq(2)

3x + 7y = 46

-3x - 8x = -50

-y = -4

y = 4

(1) ⇒ 3x + 7y = 46

3x + 7*4 = 46

3x= 46 - 28

3x = 18

x = 18/3 =6

Therefore x = 6 and y = 4
