Answer:

(x, y) = (40, 30)

Explanation:

A graphing calculator can show you the solution to this system of equations is (x, y) = (40, 30). That is the point of intersection where the two lines cross.

__

An algebraic solution can be found by using the substitution method. An expression for y can be found using the second equation:

y = 110 -2x . . . . . . subtract 2x from both sides

Using this in the first equation gives ...

3x -4(110 -2x) = 0 . . . . substitute for y

11x = 440 . . . . . . . . . simplify, add 440

x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 11

y = 110 -2(40) = 30

The solution is (x, y) = (40, 30).
