Question

Can someone please show the work on how to solve this problem?

Directions for the question:
- Explain what the solution tells us about the lines represented by the equations.

3x - 4 y = 2
- x + 3y = 1

Answer 1

multiply the second equation by 3 on both sides

Answer 2

The reason is because you can then add them together to eliminate the x variable

Answer 3

Once the x variable is gone, you can solve for y

Answer 4

when you know what y is equal to, you can sub. that number into the first equation ( ) in place of the y.

Answer 5

then you can solve for x in that equation

Answer 6

What this tells you, if you get solutions to these equations, the solutions are points on the graph where the lines intersect.

Answer 7

I believe in yours it is the point... (2,1)

Answer 8

hope this helps..
