1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the solution to the system of linear equations using the substitution method. The given system is:
13x19y=4\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}y = 4 (1)
34x+45y=9\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{4}{5}y = 9 (2)

2. Solution Steps

First, we solve equation (1) for xx.
13x19y=4\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}y = 4
Multiply both sides by 9 to eliminate fractions:
9(13x19y)=9(4)9(\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}y) = 9(4)
3xy=363x - y = 36
3x=y+363x = y + 36
x=13y+12x = \frac{1}{3}y + 12 (3)
Next, substitute equation (3) into equation (2):
34x+45y=9\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{4}{5}y = 9
34(13y+12)+45y=9\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{3}y + 12) + \frac{4}{5}y = 9
14y+9+45y=9\frac{1}{4}y + 9 + \frac{4}{5}y = 9
14y+45y=0\frac{1}{4}y + \frac{4}{5}y = 0
Multiply both sides by 20 to eliminate fractions:
20(14y+45y)=20(0)20(\frac{1}{4}y + \frac{4}{5}y) = 20(0)
5y+16y=05y + 16y = 0
21y=021y = 0
y=0y = 0
Now, substitute y=0y=0 into equation (3) to find xx:
x=13(0)+12x = \frac{1}{3}(0) + 12
x=0+12x = 0 + 12
x=12x = 12
Therefore, the solution to the system is x=12x = 12 and y=0y = 0.
