Algebra.Com's Answer #211405 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plug in -3 . Do you get 5 for y? \n" ); document.write( "BTW you are missing y in the first equation. \n" ); document.write( "Is it 5y or 4y? \n" ); document.write( "Just using the second equation \n" ); document.write( "-1/5*y-3x=10 \n" ); document.write( "There is a question whether it is -1/5*y or (-1/5)*y \n" ); document.write( "-1/5*5-3(-3)=10 \n" ); document.write( "-1+9=10 \n" ); document.write( "8=10 \n" ); document.write( "The point doesn't work this way. \n" ); document.write( "-1/(5y)-3*(-3)=10 \n" ); document.write( "-1/25+9=10 \n" ); document.write( "It doesn't work this way either. \n" ); document.write( "So the point does work in equation two so it isn't a solution for the system. \n" ); document.write( "Whether or not it works in the first equation. \n" ); document.write( " |
