Answer: (7,3)

Explanation:

[Please check]: I decoded the equations as follows:

3x-4y=9 and −5x+4y=-23

We can solve this by either of two methods: Algebra and graphing.

Algebra:

Add the two equations:

3x-4y=9

−5x+4y=-23

-2x = -14

x = 7

Use x=7 to solve for y:

3x-4y=9

3(7)-4y=9

21 -4y = 9

-4y = -12

y = 3

----

The solution is (7,3)

======

Graphing:

See the attached graph. The lines intersect at (7,3)
