A system of two equations is shown below.

3x + y = 8

4x - 2y = 3

What is the solution of the system?

The equations are,

3x + y = 8 - - - 1

4x - 2y = 3 - - - 2

Multiply equation 1 by 2

Which gives,

6x + 2y = 16 - - - 3

Now, add equation 2 and equation 3

Which gives,

10x = 19

From there, x = 19/10

Therefore x = 1.9

Now substitute x = 1.9 in the equation 1

So the equation becomes,

3*1.9 + y = 8

From that,

y = 8 - 5.7

Therefore, y = 2.3

So, x = 1.9 and y = 2.3.

Okay?
