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 is 3 because if you add equation 1 and 2 together you would get 3y=15 so y=3

hartnn · Answer

Add those equations by yourself, what u get?

anonymous · Answer

3y = 15 because 3x - 3x is just x right?

hartnn · Answer

3x-3x=0
but u are correct about 3y=15
so whats y?

anonymous · Answer

y = 5

hartnn · Answer
