The solution to the system is
\(x = 3\) and \(y = 2\).

To solve the system of equations:


3x + 4 &= 8y - 3 \\5x + 1 &= 10y - 4

We can use either the substitution method or the elimination method. Let's use the substitution method.

1. First equation:**


\[ 3x + 4 = 8y - 3 \]

Isolate x by subtracting 4 from both sides:


\[ 3x = 8y - 7 \]

Divide both sides by 3:


\[ x = (8y - 7)/(3) \]

2. Substitute into the second equation:


\[ 5 \left( (8y - 7)/(3) \right) + 1 = 10y - 4 \]

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction:


\[ 5(8y - 7) + 3 = 30y - 12 \]

Distribute and combine like terms:


\[ 40y - 35 + 3 = 30y - 12 \]


\[ 40y - 35 + 3 = 30y - 12 \]

Subtract 30y from both sides:


\[ 10y - 32 = -12 \]

Add 32 to both sides:


\[ 10y = 20 \]

Divide by 10:


\[ y = 2 \]

3. Substitute y back into the expression for x:**


\[ x = (8(2) - 7)/(3) \]


\[ x = (9)/(3) \]


\[ x = 3 \]

So, the solution to the system is x = 3 and y = 2.
