What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations? 4x − 3y = 3 5x − 4y = 3

Solve 4x − 3y = 3 and  5x − 4y = 3

Step 1: Solve for x in 4x-3y=3:
4x-3y=3
4x-3y+3y=3+3y [Add 3y to both sides]
4x=3y+3
[Divide both sides by 4]
x=

Step 2: Substitute  for x in 5x-4y=3
5x-4y=3
5()-4y=3

[Subtract  to both sides]

[Divide both sides by  ]
y = 3

Step 3: Substitute 3 for y in x = 


x = 3
