Question 894586: Identify the solution(s) of the system of equations, if any
3x-2y=6
5x=5-25y
is it
a) (28/13, 3/13)
b) (-3/17, 32/17)
c) (32/17, -3/17)
d) (32/9, 7/3)

Look at the system this way:
3x-2y=6
5x+25y=5

Multiply first one by 5, and second one by 3:
15x-10y=30
15x+75y=15

Subtract an equation from the other:
, ,

Back to original equations,
Multiply first one by 25
Multiply second one by 2:
