    (x, y) = (1, 3)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    given the 2 equations

    x + y = 4 → (1)

    y = 3x → (2)

    Substitute y = 3x into (1)

    x + 3x = 4

    4x = 4 (divide both sides by 4)

    x = 1

    Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y

    y = 3 * 1 = 3

    solution is (1, 3)
