Question

SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS PLEASE HELP ME.

Answer 1

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

3x + 2y = 8
2x + 3y = 2

4
–2
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 2

Multiply the first equation by 3, what do you get?

Answer 3

6?

Answer 4

No?
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 3:
3 (3x + 2y) = 3 (8)
^Simplify this

Answer 5

ohhh right

Answer 6

hmmm....4?

Answer 7

How do you get 4 from doing the multiplication?

Answer 8

i was guessing the answer

Answer 9

Perhaps we can solve it together, rather than just guessing it?

Answer 10

okay we can try but i dont get this at all

Answer 11

Let see how it goes :)
First, multiply both sides of the first equation by 3, we get
3 (3x + 2y) = 3 (8)
9x + 6y = 24
Do you get this part so far?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Just call that equation (9x + 6y = 24) as (a)

Now, we multiply the second equation 2x + 3y = 2 by 2, what do you get?

Answer 14

wait what's y?

Answer 15

We will calculate it if you want. But in this case, we are going to solve the system of equations by elimination. And the variable we are going to eliminate is y.

Answer 16

i think i need a bit more of a push

Answer 17

Hmm.. What do you mean?

Answer 18

towards getting the answer, i dont quite understand as well as i would like to

Answer 19

Actually, we'll get the answer quite soon... A few more steps to go :|

What do you get when you multiply the second equation 2x + 3y = 2 by 2?

Answer 20

10? :/

Answer 21

Still guessing the answer?

Answer 22

no im just not sure

Answer 23

10 for the answer or is that what you get when you do the multiplication?
