Answer: C. (1,4)

==================================================

The graphs cross at this point. Intersection points are solutions to systems of equations.

Put another way, (1,4) is on the blue line and on the red line simultaneously.

A point on the red line is a solution to the red equation. A point on the blue line is a solution to the blue equation.

-----------------

Checking the answer:

y = x+3

4 = 1+3 ... plug in x = 1 and y = 4 into the blue equation

4 = 4 .... solution works for the blue equation

y = 3x+1

4 = 3(1)+1 ... plug in x = 1 and y = 4 into the red equation

4 = 3+1

4 = 4 ... solution also works for the red equation

This fully confirms the solution
