Hello,
if the solution is infinite : the line x-3y=4 ,
so there is one line and not 2
==>x-3y=4 multiplied by 2
2x-6y=8=Q
Q=8
(a) y = 2x + 3
(b) (1,5), (3,3); y = 3x + 3 5 = m1 + b, 3 = m3 + b
(c) coincident i believe, because it is not independent or inconsistent
(d) 2x + 3 = 3x + 3
(-2x)(-3) (-2x)(- 3)
0 = -2x
x = 0
hope this helps
Answer:
<h3>Add to eliminate y.</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equations
-9x + y = 71.... 1
-x - y = -1 .... 2
Using elimination method we can eliminate y first since they have the same coefficient.
To do that we will need to add up both equations. We are adding because the coefficient of y in both equations has different signs. If they have the same sign, we would have subtracted.
<em>Hence the correct option in this case is to add to eliminate y.</em>
