Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.

Muriel says she has written a system of two linear equations that has an infinite number of solutions. One of the equations of t
erastova [34]
Infinite number of solutions...means it will be the same line.
you have probably heard about equivalent fractions like 1/2 = 2/4...and if u reduce 2/4, it equals 1/2. Well...there are also equivalent equations. They can also be reduced.

3y = 2x - 9 cant be reduced, but u can make an equivalent equation by multiplying it all by a number.Any number.

lets try 2...
2(3y = 2x - 9) =
 6y = 4x - 18...this is an equivalent equation....the same line..infinite solutions.Notice that u can reduce it by dividing everything by 2 which would equal 3y = 2x - 9....so u see, it is like equivalent fractions....kind of...lol

or multiply it by 3
3(3y = 2x - 9) =
9y = 6x - 27....this is also equivalent.....so this is an answer as well

and u can multiply it by 4 and get another equivalent equation..or 5, or 6....and so on...

make any sense ?? Just remember, to get the result of infinite solutions, the equations have to be equivalent

Line A is represented by the following equation:
Inga [223]
Line A : x + y = 2

The most likely equation for line B so that the set of equation has no solution is: 

x + y = 4

====

x + y = 2
x = 2 - y

2-y + y = 4
0 = 4 - 2
0 ≠ 2

there is no value for x nor y. so, no solution.
