anonymous · Answer

this is solving simultaneous equations, have u done that before?

anonymous · Answer

not really??......

anonymous · Answer

try read this first. http://www.mathsrevision.net/gcse-maths-revision/algebra/simultaneous-equations

anonymous · Answer

then try do solve it urself and check with my working out that I'm going to provide.

anonymous · Answer

too much reading lol

anonymous · Answer

READ IT!!! lol

anonymous · Answer

ahhh lol fine

anonymous · Answer

which choice would you pick????

anonymous · Answer

u have to read the link provided and then solve it urself first.

anonymous · Answer

no

anonymous · Answer

to figure out the answer.

anonymous · Answer

5 = -3x - 3y
3y = -3x + 5
y = -x + 5/3

-3y = 3x - 2
y = -x + 2/3

the two equations have the same gradient or m indicated by the coefficient in front of x but the y-intercept is different so therefore the answer will be no solution.
