Answer 1

To solve the system of equations:

1. \( 3x + y = 2 \) (Equation 1)
2. \( 7x - 4y = 30 \) (Equation 2)

We can use substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution by solving Equation 1 for \( y \):

From Equation 1:

\[
y = 2 - 3x
\]

Now substitute \( y \) into Equation 2:

\[
7x - 4(2 - 3x) = 30
\]
\[
7x - 8 + 12x = 30
\]
\[
19x - 8 = 30
\]
\[
19x = 38
\]
\[
x = 2
\]

Now substitute \( x = 2 \) back into Equation 1 to find \( y \):

\[
y = 2 - 3(2)
\]
\[
y = 2 - 6
\]
\[
y = -4
\]

So the solution to the system of equations is:

\[
(x, y) = (2, -4)
\]

Thus, the answer is:

\((2, -4)\)
