Answer:

the solution is (4, 1).

Explanation:

The goal here is to "solve this system of linear equations." You need to share that along with the equations.

We can begin the solution by substituting 3y + 1 for x in the second equation:

2(3y + 1) + 4y = 12

Performing the multiplication, we get 6y + 2 + 4y = 12, or 10y = 10.

Then y must be 1.

Substituting 1 for y in the first equation, we get x = 3(1) + 1 = 4

Thus, the solution is (4, 1).
