Solve the following system of equations. express your answer as an ordered pair in format (a, b), with no spaces between the numbers or symbols. 3x+4y=16 and -4x-3y=-19

Remark

There are two ways to do this. You can graph the equations (which I have included at the end of the question using Desmos) or you can solve it algebraically which in this case is going to be slightly painful.

Algebra

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 3

First Equation

4 [3x + 4y = 16]

12x + 16y = 64             (3)

Second Equation

3 [-4x - 3y = - 19]

- 12x - 9y = - 57           (4)

Add (3) and (4)

12x + 16y = 64

- 12x - 9y = -57           Add

7y = 7                           Divide by 7

y = 1

Solve for x

3x + 4y = 16         Let y = 1

3x + 4(1) = 16

3x + 4 = 16           Subtract 4

3x = 12                 Divide by 3

x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer

(4,1) just as the graph suggests.

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.

can you rephrase the question ? it is unclear : -)
