you picked choice 3. inconsistent right?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

you are correct

sure

anonymous · Answer

How many solutions does this system have? 
2x+y=3
6x=9-3y 
I think it is infinite but you have 1, none, infinite or 2

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

why do you think it's infinite?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you are correct, hopefully you see how you're correct

anonymous · Answer

I do. I figured that was it because the other 3 were illogical. Thanks for the help!

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

another way is to solve each for y

2x+y=3

y=3-2x

y = -2x + 3

Thanks!

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

6x=9-3y

6x-9=-3y

-3y = 6x - 9

y = (6x - 9)/(-3)

y = (6x)/(-3) - 9/(-3)

y = -2x + 3

so they are in fact the same line

jim is correct.....same line, infinite solutions
