1. Problem Description

The problem asks to solve the following system of equations by graphing:
4x+y=34x + y = 3
3xy=43x - y = 4

2. Solution Steps

First, we rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b).
Equation 1: 4x+y=34x + y = 3
Subtract 4x4x from both sides:
y=4x+3y = -4x + 3
The slope of the first line is m1=4m_1 = -4 and the y-intercept is b1=3b_1 = 3.
Equation 2: 3xy=43x - y = 4
Subtract 3x3x from both sides:
y=3x+4-y = -3x + 4
Multiply both sides by -1:
y=3x4y = 3x - 4
The slope of the second line is m2=3m_2 = 3 and the y-intercept is b2=4b_2 = -4.
To find the intersection point (the solution to the system), we set the two equations equal to each other:
4x+3=3x4-4x + 3 = 3x - 4
Add 4x4x to both sides:
3=7x43 = 7x - 4
Add 4 to both sides:
7=7x7 = 7x
Divide both sides by 7:
x=1x = 1
Now, substitute x=1x = 1 into either equation to find the value of yy. We'll use the first equation:
y=4(1)+3y = -4(1) + 3
y=4+3y = -4 + 3
y=1y = -1
So, the solution is x=1x = 1 and y=1y = -1.

3. Final Answer

The solution to the system of equations is (1,1)(1, -1).
