Question

3/8x+1/3y=17/24x+7y=8solve the system of equations by substitution

Answer 1

Explanation:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{8}x\text{ + }\frac{1}{3}y\text{ = }\frac{17}{24}\text{ }\ldots equation\text{ 1} \\ x+7y=8\text{ }\ldots equation2 \end{gathered}$

using substitution method:

from equation 2:

x = 8 - 7y

we substitute for x in equation 1:

$undefined$
