Solution

Sure, let's solve the system of equations step by step.

Given:

  1. y = 4x
  2. y = 19 - x

Step 1: Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other. This is called the substitution method.

4x = 19 - x

Step 2: Solve for x. To do this, add x to both sides of the equation to get all x terms on one side.

4x + x = 19 5x = 19

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x.

x = 19/5 x = 3.8

Step 4: Substitute x = 3.8 into the first equation (y = 4x) to solve for y.

y = 4 * 3.8 y = 15.2

So, the solution to the system of equations is x = 3.8 and y = 15.2.
