\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 2)

\

Since $\"\"$ , substitute $\"\"$ for y in the second equation.

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Replace $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Apply addition property of equality: Add 4y to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 5.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Now Substitute 3 for y in either equation to find the value of x.

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (Replace y by 3 )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

The solution is $\"\"$ $\"\"$
