Question

What is the solution to this system of linear equations? 2x + 3y = 3 7x – 3y = 24 (2, 7) (3, –21) (3, –1) (9, 0)

Answer 1

2x +3y=3

7x-3y=24

solve the above equations

2x+3y=3

+7x-3y=24

9x=27

x=27/9

x=3

substitute the value of x in 2x+3y=3

2(3)+3y=3

6+3y=3

3y=3-6

3y=-3

y=-3/3

y=-1

so the solution is

{x=3,y=-1}

Answer 2

C : (3, -1)
