What is the solution of the following system?

<h3>Answer:  B) no solutions</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's isolate the variable y in the first equation

-2x - y = 1

-2x = 1 + y

1+y = -2x

y = -2x-1

Then we'll plug this into the second equation

-4x - 2y = -1

-4x - 2(-2x-1) = -1

-4x + 4x + 2 = -1

0x + 2 = -1

0 + 2 = -1

2 = -1

We run into a contradiction. No matter what x value we pick, the last equation will never be true. This leads to a domino effect to cause the first set of original equations to never be true when considered as a system.

Therefore, this system is inconsistent. There are no solutions. These two lines graph out parallel lines that never intersect.

Solve this inequality: 3b – 7 &lt; 32
butalik [34]
It's a lot like solving equations.

3b-7 < 32
Add 7 to each side.
3b < 39
Divide by 3 on each side.
b < 13

Hope this helps :)
