Question

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

3x + y = 6
6x + 2y = 8

0

4

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 syste

Answer 1

please help me

Answer 2

Hey there

Answer 3

hi

Answer 4

Well since we are solving for x, we need to eliminate the ys with elimination.

Answer 5

yea i need help on that

Answer 6

I think that x = 1

Answer 7

What can we multiply the top equation with to cancel out the +2y in the bottom equation?

Answer 8

okay did it

Answer 9

So what did you multiply the top equation by?

Answer 10

6

Answer 11

1)2(3x + y = 6)
2) 6x + 2y = 8
, 6x+2y=12
-
6x + 2y = 8
___________________
0 =4 , so no solution

Answer 12

Okay multiplying the top equation by 6 gives us this

Hm... Yes @ASAAD123 is correct because any term that you multiply the top and bottom with to cancel out the y, it also cancels the x. Therefore you cannot solve for x. X has no solution. I was getting there :P
