Answer:
x = 5, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Elimination method: (I will be eliminating 4y)
3x + 4y = 27 --- Equation 1
x + 4y = 17 --- Equation 2
Equation 1-2: 3x + 4y - x - 4y = 27 - 17
2x = 10
x = 10 ÷ 2
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into Equation 2:
x + 4y = 17
4y + 5 = 17
4y = 17 - 5
= 12
y = 12 ÷ 4
y = 3
