Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
3x + 11y = 34.5
9x � 7y = -16.5
Answer by mananth(16949) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x + 11y = 34.5...................1
9x � 7y = -16.5...................2
..
multiply (1) by -3
-9x-33y=-103.5
add this to (2)
-7y-33=-16.5-103.5
-40y=-120
/-40
y =3
..
plug value of y in 1
3x+33=34.5
3x=34.5-33
3x=1.5
x=1.5/3
x=0.5
