Equation 1 is ,
Equation 2 is [/tex] 3x-2y = -1 [/tex]
for first equation LCD= 3 *5 = 15 , So we multiply whole equation by 15
Now multiply second equation by -3 , to make the coefficient of y equal and opposite , so that we can apply the elimination method
Add both the equations
Divide both sides by 11
Plug in any one of the equation we get
3(3) -2y = -1
9 - 2y = -1
subtract 9 from both sides
-2y = -10
divide both sides by -2
y=5
So the solution is x= 3 , y= 5
Which means
a. The system is consistent and independent. TRUE
