Question

Use the substitution method to solve the following system of equations: 3x 5y = 3 x 2y = 0 (1, 1) (6, −3) (6, 1) (1, −3).

Answer 1

Please check the formatting of the equations in the question.

Explanation:

3x 5y = 3 x 2y = 0

?

There is something missing from the equations. I see no + or - that connects the x and y variables.

If these are correct, I read:

3x5y = 3, and

x2y = 0

There can be no answer, since x2y = 0, either x or y must be zero. Therefore, 3x5y cannot equal 3.
