Question

Subtract the second equation from the first 4x+3y=17-(4x+y=9)

Answer 1

`2y=8`

Explanation:

The given equations are:

`4x+3y=17`

and

`4x+y=9`

We subtract the second equation from the first equation to get:

`4x-4x+3y-y=17-9`

This simplifies to:

`2y=8`

When we subtract the second equation from the first one, we get:

`2y=8`
