Answer:it will be x= 34/7 and y= 25/7

Step-by-step explanation:4x+y=23for y:

4x+y=23

4x+y+−4x=23+−4x(Add -4x to both sides)

y=−4x+23

−4x+23foryin3x−y=11:

3x−y=11

3x−(−4x+23)=11

7x−23=11(Simplify both sides of the equation)

7x−23+23=11+23(Add 23 to both sides)

7x=34

7x

=

34

(Divide both sides by 7)

x=

Step: Substitute

y=−4x+23

y=−4(

)+23

y=
