Answer

x=0,y=0x=0, y=0

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here are the steps to solve the system of equations:

  1. Simplify the first equation.

    The first equation is 4x+y=7x4x + y = 7x.
    Subtract 4x4x from both sides to isolate yy:

    y=7x−4xy = 7x - 4x y=3x(∗)y = 3x \quad (*)
  2. Simplify the second equation.

    The second equation is 2x+3y=x2x + 3y = x.
    Subtract 2x2x from both sides:

    3y=x−2x3y = x - 2x 3y=−x(∗∗)3y = -x \quad (**)
  3. Substitute the simplified first equation into the simplified second equation.

    Substitute y=3xy = 3x from equation (∗)(*) into equation (∗∗)(**):

    3(3x)=−x3(3x) = -x 9x=−x9x = -x
  4. Solve for xx.

    Add xx to both sides of the equation:

    9x+x=09x + x = 0 10x=010x = 0

    Divide by 10:

    x=010x = \frac{0}{10} x=0x = 0
  5. Substitute the value of xx back into the simplified first equation to find yy.

    Using y=3xy = 3x:

    y=3(0)y = 3(0) y=0y = 0

    The solution to the system of equations is:

    x=0x = 0 y=0y = 0 x=0,y=0x=0, y=0
