y=x+3 −4x+4y=28 (2 points)

1 answer

To solve this system of equations, we can use the substitution method.

1. From the first equation, isolate x:
y = x + 3
x = y - 3

2. Substitute x = y - 3 into the second equation:
-4(y - 3) + 4y = 28
-4y + 12 + 4y = 28
12 = 28
This is not true, so the system of equations is inconsistent and there is no solution.
