Question

Solve the system of equations.
5x - y = 3 and -10x + 2y = -6

Answer 1

do you prefer substitution or elimination ?

Answer 2

-y =-5x+3
y=5x-3
eq2
-10x +2(5x-3)=-6
-10x+10x-6 =-6
=0

Answer 3

substitution is probably easier.....let me show you...
5x - y = 3 (isolate y by subtracting 5x from both sides)
-y = -5x + 3 (multiply by -1 to make y positive)
y = 5x - 3

now sub 5x - 3 in for y in the other equation and solve for x. Once x is found, sub that value back into either equation and solve for the numerical value of y.

Answer 4

The answer choices
(0, 5)
(-1, 8)
(2, -1)
no solution
infinitely many solutions

Answer 5

if your result comes out 0 = 0 or 1 = 1, or something equal like that, then there is infinite solutions. If it comes out like 1 = 2 or 2 = 3 or something not equal, then there is no solution. And of course, if you get x = a number and y = a number, then that set is the answer (one solution)

Answer 6

wait, so whats the answer ? @kelliegirl33

Answer 7

infinitely many solutions
