Question

Need help I’m getting stuck on this problem

Answer 1

y is already isolated in the top equation

x = 4

y = 12

(4,12)

Explanation:

y is already isolated in the top equation

plug y = 3x into bottom equation

5x + 2y = 44

5x +2(3x) = 44

5x + 6x = 44

11x = 44

x = 4

plug x = 4 into y = 3x

y = 3(4)

y = 12

Answer 2

Plug in y in the bottom equation
5x + 6x = 44
11x = 44
X= 4
