Question

Can you answer this math homework? Please!

Answer 1

2x+3y=7x4

x+4y=8x3

8x+12y=27

3x+12y=24

8x-3x =5x

+12y-+12y=0

27-24=3

5x/5 3/5x

answer = x = 3/5

y=1.85

Answer 2

Explanation:

`x + 3y = 7 \\ 2x + 4y = 8 \\ x = 7 - 3y \\ 2(7 - 3y) + 4y = 8 \\ 14 - 6y + 4y = 8 \\ 14 - 2y = 8 \\ - 2y = - 6 \\ y = 3 \\ x = 7 - 3(3) \\ x = 7 - 9 \\ x = - 2`
