To solve the simultaneous equations, let's first write them down clearly: 1. \( x + 7y = 64 \) 2. \( x + 3y = 28 \) Now, we'll use the elimination method. We can subtract the second equation from the first: \[ (x + 7y) - (x + 3y) = 64 - 28 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4y = 36 \] Now, solving for \(y\): \[ y = \frac{36}{4} = 9 \] Next, we substitute \(y = 9\) back into either of the original equations to find \(x\). We'll use the second equation: \[ x + 3(9) = 28 \] This gives us: \[ x + 27 = 28 \] Now, solving for \(x\): \[ x = 28 - 27 = 1 \] Thus, the solution to the simultaneous equations is: \[ x = 1, \quad y = 9 \]
