Answer:

Option b) is correct

3x+4(2x+4)=17 Substitute (2x+4) for y in the second equation

Explanation:

Given Equations are


y=2x+4\hfill (1) and
3x+4y=17\hfill (2)

To solve the given equations we have to find the value of

x and y values.

Here y value is given so that we can substitute y=3x+4 value in second equation

ie., Substitute equation (1) in (2) equation we can easily get x value.

Therefore substitute (2x+4) for y in the second equation we get

3x+4(2x+4)=17

Option b) is correct
