To solve the system of equations:
4х + у = 10 ......(1) х + 3у = -3 ......(2)
We can solve this system of equations using the substitution method or the elimination method. Let's use the elimination method:
Multiply equation (2) by -4 to eliminate the x term:
-4(х + 3у) = -4(-3) -4х - 12у = 12
Now, add equation (1) to the new equation:
4х + у + (-4х - 12у) = 10 + 12 (4х - 4х) + (у - 12у) = 22 -11у = 22
Divide both sides by -11:
у = -2
Now, substitute the value of у in any of the original equations. Let's use equation (1):
4х + (-2) = 10 4х - 2 = 10 4х = 10 + 2 4х = 12
Divide both sides by 4:
х = 3
So, the solution to the system of equations is х = 3 and у = -2.
