just plug in the values for x and y

5(3)+7(4)=b ... 15+28=b ... 43=b

m(4)+4=22 ... 4m=18 ... m=4.5 or 9/2

Hi,

This is basically asking you, for what values of m and b, are these equations true if x=3 and y=4.

Well, let's put x=3 and y=4 into the equations and see what we get:

Can you solve these equations?
