What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

2x − 3y = 3
5x − 4y = 4
−1

0

x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to this system

There is no x value as there is no solution to this system

@radar can you help?

Multiply 1st equation by -4 getting:  -8x +12y= -12
Multply 2nd equation by 3 getting: 15x   - 12y = 12      Add the equations and solve for x

What did you get for x?

radar · Answer

That was the elimination method.  We eliminated the y variable and solved for x.

Hint:  There is only one solution.

radar · Answer

The problem is only asking for the x value.
