Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

To determine if (3, 1 ) is a solution to the system

Substitute x = 3 into both equations and evaluate. If the result is y = 1 for both then the point is a solution.

y =
(4)/(3) × 3 - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1

y = - 2(3) + 7 = - 6 + 7 = 1

Since both equations equal 1 then

(3, 1 ) is a solution to the system
