1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve four systems of linear equations using the substitution method.
System 1:
x+y=4x + y = 4
2x+3y=112x + 3y = 11
System 2:
2x5y=12x - 5y = 1
3x+2y=83x + 2y = -8
System 3:
3xy=33x - y = 3
2x+5y=192x + 5y = 19
System 4:
3x5y=43x - 5y = -4
7x8y=97x - 8y = 9

2. Solution Steps

System 1:
x+y=4x + y = 4
2x+3y=112x + 3y = 11
From the first equation, we can express xx in terms of yy:
x=4yx = 4 - y
Substitute this expression for xx into the second equation:
2(4y)+3y=112(4 - y) + 3y = 11
82y+3y=118 - 2y + 3y = 11
y=3y = 3
Now substitute y=3y = 3 back into the equation x=4yx = 4 - y:
x=43=1x = 4 - 3 = 1
So the solution is x=1x = 1, y=3y = 3.
System 2:
2x5y=12x - 5y = 1
3x+2y=83x + 2y = -8
From the first equation, we can express xx in terms of yy:
2x=1+5y2x = 1 + 5y
x=1+5y2x = \frac{1 + 5y}{2}
Substitute this expression for xx into the second equation:
3(1+5y2)+2y=83(\frac{1 + 5y}{2}) + 2y = -8
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
3(1+5y)+4y=163(1 + 5y) + 4y = -16
3+15y+4y=163 + 15y + 4y = -16
19y=1919y = -19
y=1y = -1
Now substitute y=1y = -1 back into the equation x=1+5y2x = \frac{1 + 5y}{2}:
x=1+5(1)2=152=42=2x = \frac{1 + 5(-1)}{2} = \frac{1 - 5}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2
So the solution is x=2x = -2, y=1y = -1.
System 3:
3xy=33x - y = 3
2x+5y=192x + 5y = 19
From the first equation, we can express yy in terms of xx:
y=3x3y = 3x - 3
Substitute this expression for yy into the second equation:
2x+5(3x3)=192x + 5(3x - 3) = 19
2x+15x15=192x + 15x - 15 = 19
17x=3417x = 34
x=2x = 2
Now substitute x=2x = 2 back into the equation y=3x3y = 3x - 3:
y=3(2)3=63=3y = 3(2) - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3
So the solution is x=2x = 2, y=3y = 3.
System 4:
3x5y=43x - 5y = -4
7x8y=97x - 8y = 9
From the first equation, we can express xx in terms of yy:
3x=5y43x = 5y - 4
x=5y43x = \frac{5y - 4}{3}
Substitute this expression for xx into the second equation:
7(5y43)8y=97(\frac{5y - 4}{3}) - 8y = 9
Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
7(5y4)24y=277(5y - 4) - 24y = 27
35y2824y=2735y - 28 - 24y = 27
11y=5511y = 55
y=5y = 5
Now substitute y=5y = 5 back into the equation x=5y43x = \frac{5y - 4}{3}:
x=5(5)43=2543=213=7x = \frac{5(5) - 4}{3} = \frac{25 - 4}{3} = \frac{21}{3} = 7
So the solution is x=7x = 7, y=5y = 5.

3. Final Answer

System 1: x=1x = 1, y=3y = 3
System 2: x=2x = -2, y=1y = -1
System 3: x=2x = 2, y=3y = 3
System 4: x=7x = 7, y=5y = 5
