anonymous · Answer

Okay, thanks for trying

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you should find that the 11x and the -11x add to 0x. So the x terms go away

the same happens to y as well

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

on the left side, after you add, you should get 0

anonymous · Answer

it's no solution

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

on the right side, add the numbers 89 and 107 to get 196

so after you add the equations, you get 0 = 196, which is false. So there are no solutions. This system is inconsistent.

anonymous · Answer

Everything on the left side cancels out so you get 0= 196 so the final answer is no solution

Thank you! I totally forgot that I could say no solution lol...
