Final Answer: x=1 and y=1

Steps

Step 1 :{3x+2y=53x+4y=1

Step 2 :Add the two equations to eliminate the x variable:

Step 3 :3x+2y+(3x)+4y=5+1

Step 4 :6y=6

Step 5 :Divide both sides by 6:

Step 6 :y=1

Step 7 :Substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations to find the value of x:

Step 8 :3x+2(1)=5

Step 9 :3x+2=5

Step 10 :Subtract 2 from both sides:

Step 11 :3x=3

Step 12 :Divide both sides by 3:

Step 13 :x=1

Step 14 :Final Answer: x=1 and y=1
