What is the value of the y variable in the solution to the following system of equations?
3x + y = 14
-3x + 2y = 1

5

3

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

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

add the equations to each other

3x+(-3x)   +    y+2y    =     14+1
0x      +        3y       15
3y=15
y=5

Add the equations together.
3x + y = 14
-3x +2y = 1
------------
0  + 3y = 15
divide by 3
   y = 5
