Question

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

2x − 3y = 3
5x − 4y = 4

−1

0

x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to this system

There is no x value as there is no solution to this system

Answer 1

think again with me!!

Answer 2

you need to eliminate either x or y

Answer 3

this is so hard i am so not good at this type of math ... it looks like they should both be canceled out

Answer 4

ok! multiply the first equation by -5 and the second one by 2 what do u get?

Answer 5

doing the math

Answer 6

add the two after you multiply

Answer 7

0?

Answer 8

no wait -1? -7 divided by 7 is negative one?

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

so i was correct?

Answer 11

with -1

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

thank you

Answer 14

find x now

Answer 15

i thought that was what i was looking for

Answer 16

y=-1
x=0

Answer 17

here we need to find x not y! so the correct answer is 0

Answer 18

to find x directly multiply equation 1 by -4 and equation 2 by 3 then add them

Answer 19

given your equations

2x - 3y = 3 (1)
5x - 4y = 4 (2)

multiply equation (1) by 4 and equation 2 by (-3) and add the equations to eliminate y

8x - 12y = 12
-15x + 12y = -12
-----------------
-7x = 0

therefore x = 0
