[tex] - 3x + 4y = 7 \\ y = 3x - 5[/tex]
- [Substitute the given value of y into the first equation]
[tex] - 3x + 4 \times (3x - 5) = 7[/tex]
- [Distribute 4 through the parentheses]
[tex] - 3x + 12x - 20 = 7[/tex]
[tex]9x - 20 = 7[/tex]
- [Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign]
[tex]9x = 7 + 20[/tex]
[tex]9x = 27[/tex]
- [Divide both sides of the equation by 9]
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
- [Substitute the given value of x into the second equation]
[tex]y = 3 \times 3 - 5[/tex]
[tex]y = 9 - 5[/tex]
[tex]y = 4[/tex]
- [The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair (x,y)]
[tex](x,y)=(3,4)[/tex]
