Answer:

Explanation:

You can either substitute (8, 3) into both equations as a test, or you can find the solution yourself.

Rewrite

- x + 4y = 4

- x + 3y = 1

as

- x + 4y = 4

+ x - 3y = -1

and combine like terms. The result is y = 3. Then -x + 4(3) = 4, or 8 = x.

Yes, (8, 3) is a solution of this SYSTEM.
