You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello!
Let's see if I can help you.
We can solve this system with substitution.
First pay attention to the first equation.
Let's arrange it so it looks like "y = ...", so we can plug that value instead of "y" in the second equation. So basically divide 4 from both sides to isolate y.
We can turn those fractions into decimals to make it a bit easier to work with. It depends if you work better with fractions or decimals.
Now, plug () instead of y in the second equation:
So now we are trying to solve for x.
So we have x now. But wait, we still haven't found y yet. Simply put 7 instead of x in either of the two equations and solve for y. (We'll use the second equation)
So there you have it! We now know that x = 7 and y = 2.
Hope I helped.
