1. Problem Description

We need to solve the system of linear equations for xx and yy:
4x+5y=32-4x + 5y = 32
3x+4y=25-3x + 4y = 25

2. Solution Steps

We can use the elimination method to solve this system.
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4 to eliminate xx:
3(4x+5y)=3(32)3(-4x + 5y) = 3(32)
4(3x+4y)=4(25)4(-3x + 4y) = 4(25)
This gives us:
12x+15y=96-12x + 15y = 96
12x+16y=100-12x + 16y = 100
Subtract the first equation from the second equation:
(12x+16y)(12x+15y)=10096(-12x + 16y) - (-12x + 15y) = 100 - 96
12x+16y+12x15y=4-12x + 16y + 12x - 15y = 4
y=4y = 4
Now substitute y=4y = 4 into the first equation:
4x+5(4)=32-4x + 5(4) = 32
4x+20=32-4x + 20 = 32
4x=3220-4x = 32 - 20
4x=12-4x = 12
x=124x = \frac{12}{-4}
x=3x = -3

3. Final Answer

x=3x = -3 and y=4y = 4
