Question 483892: Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
9x + 6y = 60
-27x – 18y = -180

Answer by Alan3354(69443)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9x + 6y = 60
-27x – 18y = -180
--------------------
3x + 2y = 20 eqn 1 times 1/3
3x + 2y = 20 eqn 2 times -1/9
-----------
It's the same eqn --> dependent --> an infinite # of solutions
