Answer 1

To find the solution of the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination.

First, let's solve the first equation:
8x + y = 17
y = 17 - 8x

Now, substitute this into the second equation:
4x + 3(17 - 8x) = 31
4x + 51 - 24x = 31
-20x + 51 = 31
-20x = -20
x = 1

Now that we have found x, we can substitute it back into the first equation to find y:
8(1) + y = 17
8 + y = 17
y = 9

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = 9.
