Answer

\[\left\{ \left( 1,5 \right) \right\}\]

Work Step by Step

Substitute the value of \[y=4x+1\]in the second equation and solve \[\begin{align} & 3x+2y=13 \\ & 3x+2\left( 4x+1 \right)=13 \\ & 3x+8x+2=13 \\ & 11x=13-2 \end{align}\] Solve further as \[\begin{align} & 11x=11 \\ & x=\frac{11}{11} \\ & x=1 \\ \end{align}\] Substitute the value of \[x=1\]in the first equation as follows: \[\begin{align} & y=4x+1 \\ & =4\left( 1 \right)+1 \\ & =4+1 \\ & =5 \end{align}\] Hence, the value of x is 1 and y is 5.
