3x - 4y = 7
Try to find by trial and error what numbers you can put in for "x" and "y" to get 7
Your answers are x=5 and y=2
Check to see if these are correct...
3(5) - 4(2) = 7
15 - 8 = 7

Subtracting the second equation from first: 3x - y = 25 3x + 4y = 5 0x - 5y = 20 5y = -20 y = -4 Plugging y = -4 into either equation gives us x = 7, So x = 7 and y = -4
4
The given expression has no solution because without an equality sign it is not an equation.
If: 4x+3y-5 = 0 then y = -4/3x+5/3 Perpendicular slope: 3/4 Perpendicular equation: y--3 = 3/4(x--2) => 4y+12 = 3x+6 => 4y = 3x-6 In its general form: 3x-4y-6 = 0
x = 3/5 and y = 1/5
