Solve the system of equations using the addition method. If the answer is a unique solution, present it as an ordered pair: (x,y). If not specify whether the answer is no solution or infinitely many solutions.]

3x-11y = 9 Equation A
-9x+ 33y = -27 Equation B

Step 1. Multiply Equation A by 3: to get Equation A1 below:

9x-33y=27 Equation A1
-9x+33y=-27 Equation B

Step 2. Add Equations A1 and B to get




which means that there are many solutions and these equations are not independent.

Step 3. ANSWER: There are an infinite number of solutions that satisfies the above linear system of equations.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
