Question

Solve the following system of equations algebraically. Verify your solution either graphically or by using matrices
8x-2y=5
-12x+3y=7

zpupster · Answer

you have to eliminate an x or y . do that by multiplying one of the equations   or both equations by a number that will accomplish that. here you would multiply top equation by 3 and bottom equation by 2.

8x-2y=5
-12x+3y=7

this will give:
24x-6y=15
-24x +6y =14

both x and y cancel there is no solution.


this is one way another way is

to solve for a variable and then plug your answer back in

from the graph you can see no intersection points the line equations are parallel

no solutions
