The solution of the system of equations are x = -2 and y = 15, the factor is 2 and 4 for the 1st and 2nd equation respectively.

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have a system of equations:

1st Equation: 4x + y = 7

2nd Equation: 2x + y = 11

Subtract equation 2nd from 1st

(4x + y) - (2x + y) = 7 - 11

2x = -4

x = -2

Now in equation 1st multiply by 2 and in equation 2nd multiply by 4

8x + 2y = 14

8x + 4y = 44

Subtract:

-2y = -30

y = 15

The factor is 2 and 4 for the 1st and 2nd equation respectively.

Thus, the solution of the system of equations are x = -2 and y = 15, the factor is 2 and 4 for the 1st and 2nd equation respectively.
