Question

X=3y + 1
2x + 4y = 12

Answer 1

Answer: (x, y) = (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solve for y.

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

y = 1

2. Substitute the given value of y into the equation x = 3y + 1 and solve for x.

x = 3(1) + 1

x = 4

Answer 2

x=4

y=1

Explanation:

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

6y+2+4y=12

10y+2=12

10y=10

y=1

Plug in 1 into y of the original equation
