Question

Solve each system by elimination x-3y=17x-3y=14

Answer 1

No Solution

1) Let's solve that system below:

x-3y=17 x(-1) Multiplying it by -1 to eliminate one variable

x-3y=14​

-x+3y=-17

x-3y=14​

------------------

0x +0y = -3

0 ≠ -3

2) Since we ended up canceling out both variables, this is a No solution Linear System. There's no number that satisfies both x, and y.
