Question

Solve the system of equations. –6x + y = –21 2x − 1 3 y = 7 What is the solution to the system of equations? (3, 3) (2, –9) infinitely many solutions no solutions

Answer 1

x = 7/2

y = 0

Explanation:

–6x + y = –21

2x − 13y = 7

Times the second equation by 3

-6x + y = -21

6x - 39y = 21

-38y = 0

y = 0
Now put -0 back for y and solve for x

-6x = -21

x = 7/2
