Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

6x – 9y = 16
2x – 3y = 7
A) (5, 1)
B) (2, -1)
C) (3, 2/9)
D) no solution

Answer 1

If you would like to know the solution to the system of equations, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6x – 9y = 16
2x – 3y = 7 /*(-3) ... -6x + 9y = - 21
___________
6x – 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
0 = - 5

The correct result would be D) no solution.
