To solve the system using substitution, we need to first isolate one variable in one equation and substitute it into the other equation.
From the first equation, we have:
4x = 3y - 2
Let's solve this equation for x:
x = (3y - 2) / 4
Now we substitute this value of x into the second equation:
18 = 3((3y - 2) / 4) + y
Multiply throughout by 4 to get rid of the denominator:
72 = 9(3y - 2) + 4y
72 = 27y - 18 + 4y
Combine like terms:
72 = 31y - 18
Add 18 to both sides:
90 = 31y
Divide both sides by 31:
y = 90 / 31
Now substitute this value of y back into the equation we found for x:
x = (3(90/31) - 2) / 4
Simplifying:
x = (270/31 - 2) / 4
Finding a common denominator:
x = (270/31 - (62/31)) / 4
x = (270 - 62) / 31 / 4
x = 208/31 / 4
x = 208/31 * 1/4
x = 208/31 * 1/4
x = 52/31
Therefore, the ordered pair (x, y) is (52/31, 90/31).
Unfortunately, none of the given options match this result, so none of the provided ordered pairs are correct.
Solve the system using substitution.
4 x equals 3 y minus 2.
18 equals 3 x plus y.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the system using substitution correctly.
We have the following system of equations:
1) 4x = 3y - 2
2) 18 = 3x + y
From equation 1), we isolate x:
4x = 3y - 2
Divide both sides by 4:
x = (3y - 2) / 4
Now substitute this value of x into equation 2):
18 = 3((3y - 2) / 4) + y
Multiply throughout by 4 to clear the fraction:
72 = 9(3y - 2) + 4y
Distribute:
72 = 27y - 18 + 4y
Combine like terms:
72 = 31y - 18
Add 18 to both sides:
90 = 31y
Divide both sides by 31:
y = 90 / 31
Now substitute this value of y back into equation 1):
4x = 3(90 / 31) - 2
Simplify and find a common denominator:
4x = (270/31 - 62/31) / 31
4x = 208/31
Divide both sides by 4:
x = (208/31) / 4
x = 52/31
Therefore, the ordered pair (x, y) is (52/31, 90/31), which corresponds to the option:
the ordered pair (52/31, 90/31)
