1. <span>Simplify -9 + -2m to -9 - 2m
-3m = -9 - 2m
2. </span><span>Add </span>2m <span>to both sides
-3m + 2m = -9
3. </span><span>Simplify -3m + 2m to -m
-m = -9
4. </span><span>Multiply both sides by </span><span><span>−<span>1
m = 9
Done! :) our answer is m = 9</span></span></span>
The solution of the system can be x - 3y = 4 only if both the equations can be simplified to x - 3y = 4.
This will mean that both the equations will result in the same line which is x - 3y = 4 and thus have infinitely many solutions.
Second equation is:
Qx - 6y = 8
Taking 2 common we get:
(Q/2)x - 3y = 4
Comparing this equation to x- 3y = 4, we can say that
Q/2 = 1
So,
Q = 2
Therefore, the second equation will be:
2x - 6y = 8
3 times 3 times 2 equals 18
