Answer:

[tex]2y=8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are:

[tex]4x+3y=17[/tex]

and

[tex]4x+y=9[/tex]

We subtract the second equation from the first equation to get:

[tex]4x-4x+3y-y=17-9[/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]2y=8[/tex]

When we subtract the second equation from the first one, we get:

[tex]2y=8[/tex]
