Answer

$(1,5)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system: $\begin{cases} y=4x+1\\ 3x+2y=13 \end{cases}$ We will use the substitution method. Substitute the expression of $y$ in Equation 2 to eliminate $y$ and determine $x$: $\begin{cases} y=4x+1\\ 3x+2(4x+1)=13 \end{cases}$ $3x+2(4x+1)=13$ $3x+8x+2=13$ $11x+2=13$ $11x=11$ $x=1$ Substitute each the value of $x$ in the expression of $y$ to determine $y$: $y=4x+1$ $x=1\Rightarrow y=4(1)+1=5$ The system's solution is: $(1,5)$
