Question

What is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations?
5x − 3y = −3
2x − 6y = −6

Answer 1

o, -1, 1, 2 are my choices for an answer.

Answer 2

I believe it is 1

Answer 3

a) 5x − 3y = −3
b) 2x − 6y = −6

Multiply equation b by -2.5
a) 5x − 3y = −3
b) -5x +15y = 15

Add the equations:
12 y = -12

Answer 4

First, multiply the first equation by 2, so you have 10x-6y=-6. Then, you multiply the bottom equation by 5 which gives you 10x-30y=-30. After that, you subtract the bottom equation from the top equation which gives you 24y=24. Finally, you divide both sides by 24 which lieaves you with y=1.

Answer 5

I made a mistake in my calculations.
Adding the equations produces
12 y = 12
and y = 1
silverfang492 is correct

Answer 6

yeah you accidentally said -12 instead of 12
