Question 605111: Solve the following system of equations for x:
6x+7y=-8
-6x-14y=22
I need your help please. I can't figure out if there is an answer or if these equations represent parallel lines and there is no solution or if these equations represent the same line and there are infinite solutions.
Thank you so much for your help!! Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6x + 7y = -8
-6x- 14y = 22
--------------adding eliminates x, find y
-7y = 14
y =
y = -2
:
Find x using the 1st equation
6x + 7(-2) = -8
6x - 14 = -8
6x = -8 + 14
6x = 6
x = 1
:
:
Check solutions in the 2nd equation
-6(1) - 14(-2) = 22
-6 + 28 = 22
