Match the answer to the question about these linear equations:

Question

3x+4y=48

y=−34x−3
(2 points)
The solution(s) to this Linear system
Why is this the solution?

Answer 1

The solution to this linear system is x = 8 and y = -7.

This is the solution because when we substitute x = 8 and y = -7 into both equations, they satisfy both equations simultaneously. This means that the values of x and y make both equations true and represent the intersection point of the two lines.
