<span>There are several ways to do this problem. One of them is to realize that there's only 14 possible calendars for any year (a year may start on any of 7 days, and a year may be either a leap year, or a non-leap year. So 7*2 = 14 possible calendars for any year). And since there's only 14 different possibilities, it's quite easy to perform an exhaustive search to prove that any year has between 1 and 3 Friday the 13ths. Let's first deal with non-leap years. Initially, I'll determine what day of the week the 13th falls for each month for a year that starts on Sunday. Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Monday Apr - Thursday May - Saturday Jun - Tuesday Jul - Thursday Aug - Sunday Sep - Wednesday Oct - Friday Nov - Monday Dec - Wednesday Now let's count how many times for each weekday, the 13th falls there. Sunday - 1 Monday - 3 Tuesday - 1 Wednesday - 2 Thursday - 2 Friday - 2 Saturday - 1 The key thing to notice is that there is that the number of times the 13th falls upon a weekday is always in the range of 1 to 3 days. And if the non-leap year were to start on any other day of the week, the numbers would simply rotate to the next days. The above list is generated for a year where January 1st falls on a Sunday. If instead it were to fall on a Monday, then the value above for Sunday would be the value for Monday. The value above for Monday would be the value for Tuesday, etc. So we've handled all possible non-leap years. Let's do that again for a leap year starting on a Sunday. We get: Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Tuesday Apr - Friday May - Sunday Jun - Wednesday Jul - Friday Aug - Monday Sep - Thursday Oct - Saturday Nov - Tuesday Dec - Thursday And the weekday totals are: Sunday - 1 Monday - 2 Tuesday - 2 Wednesday - 1 Thursday - 2 Friday - 3 Saturday - 1 And once again, for every weekday, the total is between 1 and 3. And the same argument applies for every leap year. And since we've covered both leap and non-leap years. Then we've demonstrated that for every possible year, Friday the 13th will happen at least once, and no more than 3 times.</span>

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Note how "2x" shows up in both equations.  This suggests doing a substitution to solve the system.

Focus first on the first equation.  Solving 2x - y = 7 for 2x, we get:

2x = y + 7.

Next, we substitute y + 7 for 2x in the second equation:

y = (y + 7) + 3.

Simplifying this produces:

0 = 10

This is not true and can never be true.  Thus, this system has no solution.
