Question

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

3x − 6y = 3
7x − 5y = −11

Answer 1

Is it multiple choice?

Answer 2

oops yes.

Answer 3

Can you give the options?

Answer 4

use substitution or elimination

Answer 5

−2

−3

x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to the system.

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

Solve the first one x and then substitute that's make things so much easier.
And hey @Peasant1 !

Answer 8

so you need to eliminate y

multiple the 1st equation by 5 and the 2nd equation by -6
and you get

15x - 30y = 15
- 42x + 30y =66

add the equations to eliminate y

-27x = 81

I'll let you solve for x

Answer 9

Howdy! @Luigi0210

Answer 10

@campbell_st Is right.

Answer 11

So is @Luigi0210

Answer 12

ok thanks

Answer 13

No problem.

Answer 14

What was your final answer?

Answer 15

-3

Answer 16

x=-3....

Answer 17

-42x+30y=66
15x-30y=15...........by solving......-27x=81........=.....x=-3

Answer 18

it was already solved lol but thanks anyway
