Step-by-step explanation:
You said word problem. Where is the word problem?
You have a system of linear equations in two variables:
y= 3x-4
y= -2x+1
What are the two variables? The two variables are x and y. We must find their value.
You are blessed to have both equations expressed in terms of y.
Since we know BOTH equations for y, equate them and solve for x.
3x - 4 = -2x + 1
3x + 2x = 4 + 1
5x = 5
