-3x -y = -38 -8x+8y = - 16 I got no solution is that correct? and y=1/2x -5 y=1/2x +2 i got (20,3) is this correct?

OpenStudy (hba):

You can check your self by putting (20,3)=(x,y) in your equations and check L.H.S=R.H.S If L.H.S=R.H.S then you did it right If not you are wrong :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant L.H.S=R.H.S for something i got no solution on. can you just tell me weatherr or not im making a mistake please?

OpenStudy (hba):

There is a solution i guess.

hartnn (hartnn):

there is a solution, from 2nd equation, you get -x+y=-2 now add this to 1st equation, and you directly get the value of x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ookk thanks

OpenStudy (hba):

Welcome :)

hartnn (hartnn):

and your solution to 2nd system is also incorrect.

OpenStudy (hba):

^ Yes.

OpenStudy (precal):

no solution means that the equations are parallel
