Question

Solve this system of equations by using the elimination method -3x+y=6 -3x+y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate the x's by add the 2 equations :

2y = 18

Divide both sides by 2 :

y = 9

Substitute this value into equation 1 to solve for x :

-3x + (9) = 6

Subtract 9 from both sides :

-3x = -3

Divide both sides by -3 :

x = 1

Substitute these values into equation 2 to check :

-3(1) + 6 = 12 ❌❌

So it has no solution
