Y = -3x - 1......so we sub in -3x - 1 in for y in the other equation
2x + 5y = 12
2x + 5(-3x - 1) = 12....now distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
2x - 15x - 5 = 12...add 5 to both sides
2x - 15x = 12 + 5..combine like terms
-13x = 17...divide both sides by -13
x = -17/13
now sub in -17/13 for x in the other equation
y = -3x - 1
y = -3(-17/13) - 1
y = 51/13 - 1
y = 51/13 - 13/13
y = 38/13
so the solution is (-17/13, 38/13)
If you use a distributive or multiply is all kind a same
Answer:
Inconsistent
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of equation is said to be inconsistent if the lines are parallel or the system of equations have no solution.
From the given graphs of lines, we can say that the lines are parallel to each other. Hence, the graphs never intersect.
Since, the lines are parallel hence, we can say that there would be no solution for the system of equations.
Therefore, the system is inconsistent.
Hence, third option is the correct option.
The answer is 36 because you have to multiply it and divide getting your the answer.
