Answer 1

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE QUESTION..

Answer 2

Systems Of Equations

Answer 3

you must have a typo in the equations.

Answer 4

are you sure the second equation has -2x ??
how about
2x - 3y = 6 instead?

Answer 5

no on the thing its a -

Answer 6

In that case you are suffering from "bogus question" syndrome.
because the solution to the system you posted is
x= 9/4 and y= -7/2

Answer 7

maby take out the - then when its solve plug it in?

Answer 8

on the other hand, the solution to
2x - 5y =22
2x - 3y = 6
is (-9,-8)

so maybe there is a typo in the question.

Answer 9

maby take out the - then when its solve plug it in?

no, that isn't allowed.

Answer 10

yeah i was thinking that i enter you anser see if it was a typo.

Answer 11

If you have a teacher, I would point this one out to them

Answer 12

and it would be good if you could solve the original problem. tho none of the answers match, it is good practice, and it proves you can solve these things.
