4x - 3y = 83

2x - 3y = 43

According to the system of equations above, what is the value of y?

y=17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you should make one - 3y positive to cancel them out.

So multiply 2x-3y=43 by - 1 and you get

-2x+3y=43

4x-3y=83

now + 3y - 3y cancel each other out

4x-2x=83-43

2x=50

x=25

Now enter 25 into the equation as x to find y

4 (25) - 3y=83

100-3y=83

100-83=3y

3y=17

y=17/3
