Question

=

Answer 1

Answer:

Different ways to solve a system of linear equations:

isolate one variable in one equation and replace it in the other equation

multiply/divide one equation by a constant and then add/subtract it to the other one, so that only one variable remains

graph the equation and look at the intersection point

If you graph the system:

there is only one solution if the lines intersects at only one point

there is no solution if the lines don't intersect each other (they are parallel)

there are infinitely many solutions if the lines overlap each other (they are the same equation multiplied by some constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st system

y = -x – 7  

y = 4/3 x – 7  

solution: x= 0, y = 7

2nd system

y = -3x – 5  

y = x + 3  

solution: x = -2, y = 1

3rd system

y = -2x + 5  

y = 1/3 x – 2

solution:  x = 3, y = -1

4th system

3x + 2y = 2  

x + 2y = -2  

solution: x = 2, y = -2

5th system

x + 3y = -9  

2x – y = -4

solution:  x = -3, y = -2

6th system

x – 2y = 2

-x + 4y = -8

solution:  x = -4, y = -3

7th system

5x + y = -2  

x + y = 2

solution: x = -1, y = -3
