Question

3/8x+1/3y=17/24x+7y=8solve the system of equations by substitution

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(8)x\text{ + }(1)/(3)y\text{ = }(17)/(24)\text{ }\ldots equation\text{ 1} \\ x+7y=8\text{ }\ldots equation2 \end{gathered}`

using substitution method:

from equation 2:

x = 8 - 7y

we substitute for x in equation 1:
