2x + 3y = 7 Eq—1
6x + 9y = 6 Eq—2
Eq 1 = Eq2

2x + 3y = 6x + 9y
2x - 6x = 9y - 3y
(-4x = 6y)/-4
X = -1.5

2x + 3y = 7 when X = -1.5
2(-1.5) + 3y = 7
-3 + 3y = 7
(3y = 10)/3
Y = 3.333

Answer:

The answer is No Solution.

Explanation:

We can't add the two systems, so let's look for x. We would need to multiple them by (-6) and 2, which are the numbers in front of x. One must be a negative.

(2x + 3y = 7) * (-6)
(6x + 9y = 6) * 2

_____________

(-12x) + (-18y) = -42

(12x + 18y = 12

Both the x and y cancel each other out, and we're only left with -42 and 12, which doesn't really solve for x.

You can check the answer by checking for y. So, this time, we'll multiply the equations by (-9) and 3, which are the numbers in front of y.

(2x + 3y = 7) * (-9)

(6x + 9y = 6) * 3

___________

(-18x) + (-27y) = -63

18x + 27y = 18

Both x and y cancel out, and we're left with -63 and 18.
