4x - Зу = -3
4x + y = 17
Explain how as well

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

4x+y=17;4x−3y=−3

Step: Solve4x+y=17for y:

4x+y+−4x=17+−4x(Add -4x to both sides)

y=−4x+17

Step: Substitute−4x+17foryin4x−3y=−3:

4x−3y=−3

4x−3(−4x+17)=−3

16x−51=−3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

16x−51+51=−3+51(Add 51 to both sides)

16x=48

16/x = 48/16

(Divide both sides by 16)

x=3

Step: Substitute 3 for x in y=−4x+17:

y=−4x+17

y=(−4)(3)+17

y=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x=3 and y=5
