Find the solution to the system of equations, x + 3y = 7 and 2x + 4y = 8.

1. Isolate x in the first equation: x = 7 − 3y
2. Substitute the value for x into the second equation: 2(7 − 3y) + 4y = 8
3. Solve for y: 14 − 6y + 4y = 8
14 − 2y = 8
−2y = −6
y = 3
4. Substitute y into either original equation: x = 7 − 3(3)
5. Write the solution as an ordered pair: (
,
)
