Answer:

x = 1

y = 3

Explanation:

Substitution Method:

Step 1:

Name The Equation

4x + y = 7 ...(1)

3x + 2y = 9 ...(2)

Step 2:

From Equation (1) we get,

4x = 7 - y

i.e.,

x = 7 - y/4

Step 3:

Substitute the value of x = 7 - y/4 in equation (2)

i.e.,

3(7 - y/4) + 2y = 9

21 - 3y/4 + 2y = 9

21 - 3y + 8y/4 = 9

21 - 3y + 8y = 9 * 4

21 + 5y = 36

5y = 36 - 21

5y = 15

y = 15/5

y = 3

Step 4:

Substitute the value of y = 3 in equation (1)

4x + y = 7

i.e.,

4x + (3) = 7

4x + 3 = 7

4x = 7 - 4

4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1

Verification:

4x + y = 7 i.e., 4(1) + (3) = 7

3x + 2y = 9 i.e., 3(1) + 2(3) = 9
