Solve for the variables: 3x-4y=17 x-4y=3

x = 7

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = 17

x - 4y = 3

Solve x in the second equation.

x = 3 + 4y

Put x as 3 + 4y in the first equation and solve for y.

3(3 + 4y) - 4y = 17

9 + 12y - 4y = 17

9 + 8y = 17

8y = 17 - 9

8y = 8

y = 8/8

y = 1

Put y as 1 in the second equation and solve for x.

x = 3 + 4(1)

x = 3 + 4

x = 7

first one is a: renaming a fraction. second one is c: de-c
