Solve using any appropriate method. 2s-13t=120 -14s+91t=-840

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try multiplying the first equation by -7.... what do you notice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get -14 and -91

OpenStudy (phi):

if you multiply the 1st equation by -7 you get -14s + 91t= -840 this matches the 2nd equation, so you have an infinite number of solutions.

OpenStudy (phi):

any (s,t) pair that works in the 1st equation works in the 2nd equation... an infinite number of solutions.
