Question

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

3x + y = 1 6x + 2y = −9

Answer 1

3x + y = 1
6x + 2y = −9

Answer 2

3x+y=1
y=1-3x
Then plug this in the second equation, to eliminate one variable. so you will get
6x+2(1-3x)=-9

Answer 3

a very suspicious looking system.

Answer 4

Note the left hand doubled but the right half didn't, there is an inconsistency here.

Answer 5

oh yeah, that's true. I didn't see that. good catch radar

Answer 6

Sneaky to say the least, but there is an answer to inconsistency: "no answer" lol

Answer 7

There is no x value as there is no solution to this system
x can be any value as there are infinitely many solutions to this system
