Question

Solve this using substitution method. Many many thanks

Answer 1

3x + 4y = 11

x = 15 -7 y

3 (15-7y) = 11

45 - 21y + 4y = 11

45 - 17 y = 11

-17 y =11 -45

-17y ÷ -17 = -34 ÷ -17

y = 2

x = 15 - 7y

x = 15 - 7(2)

x = 15 - 14

x = 1

there for y = 2 and x = 1 is the solution

Answer 2

y=2 and x=1

Explanation:

sub 2 into 1

3(15-7y) + 4y= 11

45 - 21y +4y =11

-21y+4y= 11-45

-17y= - 34

y=2

Therefore sub y into x equation

x=15-7(2)

x= 1
