The solution to the system is missing the y-value.
Line A: y = 3x + 1
Line B: x = 5
Solution: (5, ___?)
Determine the y-value of the solution using the substitution.
y = 3 (5) + 1 -------> y = 4/3
(5) = 3y + 1 -------> y = 16
y = 3 (5) + 1 -------> y = 16
(5) = 3y + 1 --------> y = 4/3
The --------> is an arrow, by the way. Thank you!

The correct y-value for the solution is y = 16.
So, the complete solution is (5, 16).
Which of the answer choices?
y = 3 (5) + 1 -------> y = 4/3
(5) = 3y + 1 -------> y = 16
y = 3 (5) + 1 -------> y = 16
(5) = 3y + 1 --------> y = 4/3
Based on the calculations provided, the correct y-value for the solution is y = 16.
Therefore, the correct answer choice among the ones you provided is:
y = 3(5) + 1 -------> y = 16
So, the solution to the system is (5, 16).
