Question

What is the value of the y variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

3x + y = 14
–3x + 2y = 1

5

3

y can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to the system.

There is no y value as there is no solution to the system.

Answer 1

3x + y = 14
-3x + 2y = 1

If you add the two equations together, the x's cancel, leaving you with:

3y = 15
y = 5

Answer 2

hope i helped
