Answer 1

Based on the verbal descriptions provided, the system of linear equations can be formulated as follows:

1. The sum of 4 and \( x \) is equal to 17 times \( y \): \[ 4 + x = 17y \]

2. The difference between \( y \) and 7 is equal to the sum of 3 and \( x \): \[ y - 7 = 3 + x \]

Thus, the correct response that matches these equations is: \[ \begin{cases} 4 + x = 17y \ y - 7 = 3 + x \end{cases} \]

This matches the choice that looks like: {4+x=17y, y−7=3+x}

The closest response from your options is: {4+x=17y, y−7=3+x}
