Question

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

3x + y = 1
6x + 2y = −9

Answer 1

multiply first equation by 2:-
6x + 2y = 2
do you notice the similarity between this and second equation?

Answer 2

the beginning of the equation yes

Answer 3

this means that the 2 equations are parallel

Answer 4

parallel lines
so they will never intersect

so what does this say about the values of x and y?

Answer 5

there is no solution?

Answer 6

right

Answer 7

thank you
