1. Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. It doesn't necessarily matter which. Sometimes one is easier than the other.
The second equation becomes x=4-y
Plug this value into the other equation.
4(4-y)+3y=13 and solve
16-4y+3y=13
3=y
plug this into x+y=4 and solve for x
3=x=4,x=1
Repeat for the rest of the problems.
