The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.

Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement

is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.

Answer:
21, 23, 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so this one may seem a little tricky, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. :)
So because they are consecutive odd numbers, that means they are odd numbers that are one after the other. This means each number is 2 apart from the next. So by using this, we know that there is a difference of 6 between the highest and lowest number. Now let's try and make an equation:
3o + 6 = 69
Now in order to get O by itself we have to subtract 6 from both sides:
3o = 63
Now we just have to divide by three on both sides:
o = 21
So now, we know that the lowest number is 21, but we have to add 2 to get 23, and then another 2 to get 25.
Hope this helps :)
The equation would be y=3x-1
Point Slope Formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = 3(x-2)
y - 5 = 3x - 6
+ 5 + 5
--------------------
y = 3x - 1
