Answer:
Explanation:
Working with the top equation, subtract 2x from both sides.
y = 9 - 2x
Put this value for y in the second equation
3x - 4(9 - 2x) = 8 Remove the brackets
3x -36 + 8x = 8 Add 36 to both sides
3x + 8x = 8 + 36 Combine
11x = 44 Divide by 11
x = 4
2x + y = 9
2*4 + y = 9
8 + y = 9 Subtract 8 from both sides
y = 9-8
y = 1
