x+4y = 7

x+y = 4

Subtract the second equation from the first equation:

3y = 3

Divide both sides by 3 in order to find the value of y:

y = 1

Substitute the value of y into both original equations in order to find the value of x:

Therefore it follows that: x = 3 and y = 1

How do you answer 4X-3y equals 8?

This equation is not possible unless you are given another equation related to x and y. Then you could use simultaneous equations to solve this. However in this came this question is impossible


Y plus 4 equals 4x-2?

That equation cannot be solved since there are 2 unknown in the equation (x and y) but only 1 equation. The number of unknowns must be equal to the number of equations (for simultaneous equations)


How do you solve this simultaneous equation 2y equals 12-x and 3y equals x-2 by using a graph?
