Question

solve the following system of equations express your answers as an ordered pair in the format (a,b) with no spaces between the number of symbols 3x+4y=16 -4x-3y=-19

Answer 1

The answer to your question is (4,1)

Answer 2

(4,1)

Explanation:

The system of equations is

`3x+4y=16......(1)\\-4x-3y=-19.....(2)`

Multiply equation(1) by 4 and equation (2) by 3 and then add

`12x-12x+16y-9y=64-57\\7y=7\\y=1`

Plugging the value of y in equation (1)

`3x+4(1)=16\\3x+4=16\\3x=12\\x=4`

Hence, the solution to the given system of equation is (4,1)
