Answer:

x = 4

y = 12

Explanation:

Replace all occurrences of y with 3x in each equation.

7x = 28

y = 3x

Divide each term in 7x = 28 by 7 and simplify.

x = 4

y = 3x

Replace all occurrences of x with 4 in each equation.

y = 12

x = 4

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

(4,12)

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

(4,12)

Equation Form:

x = 4,y = 12

Hope I helped <3
