2x – y = 2

Question

How many solutions are there to the following system of equations?
 
5x + 3y = 7
2x – y = 2

anonymous · Answer

in the end, I solved for y and then y = 2x-2, then I plugged it in the other one and x turns out to be equal to 0.18181818818818188 AND I'M LIKE WHATTTT

anonymous · Answer

combine the like turms

anonymous · Answer

okay I already did that... read what I did before

anonymous · Answer

LOL, No. You don't solve them.

Plot them on a graph.

anonymous · Answer

what u ahev to plot them?

anonymous · Answer

yuppers both are correct once you combine like terms that is as far as you go

anonymous · Answer

1, Discriminant = 49 - (4*5*3) = -11
2, nemaproblema:
x² - 7/5x = -3/5
(x - 7/10)² - 0.49 = -0.6
(x - 7/10)² = -0.11

Both indicates there is no solution.

anonymous · Answer

cause the main question is 
How many solutions are there to the following system of equations?
a. 0
b. 1
c. 2
d. infinately many

anonymous · Answer

can I give two pple medals?

anonymous · Answer

A there r no solutions!

anonymous · Answer

no just one :(

anonymous · Answer

Put the system into slope intercept form.

and plot it on the graph. You can see how many solutions there are from how many times they intercept.

anonymous · Answer

I gave u the answer there are no solutions!!!!!!!!!!

anonymous · Answer

brianna I know where you got that answer but it's not. I looked it up too but they don't have the same question.

anonymous · Answer

this is true you got an infinite number which usually means that there is no true answer!

anonymous · Answer

alright
imma graph it

anonymous · Answer

yes that will give you an ACCURATE answer

anonymous · Answer

ok its indefanitly many!

anonymous · Answer

There is only 1 solution.

Meaning the two lines only intercept once.

anonymous · Answer

but when u graph they can only intercept one or non times!

anonymous · Answer

yes they intercept once.

anonymous · Answer

False, they can intercept infinite, zero, or one time.

anonymous · Answer

Infinite = Same Line
Zero = Parallel Lines
One = Criss Cross Lines.

anonymous · Answer

Stee, I am giving you a picture of the graph to help you. :)

anonymous · Answer

Here you go!

anonymous · Answer

ahhh I see thanks!!!
