yees because if you divide everything by 8 to get y=7/8+3x/8 which is a linear function since it fits the equation y=mx+b
x = 12 and y = 8
3x - 4y = 10-3x - 4y = 8 -> add line 1 to line 2 3x - 4y = 100x - 8y = 18 -> -8y = 18 -> y = -18/8 = -9/4 -> 3x - 4*(-9/4) = 10 -> 3x + 9 = 10 -> 3x = 1 -> x = 1/3
4x+8y=-24
