Algebra.Com's Answer #359821 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 x + 2 y = 23 .............1 \n" ); document.write( "5 x + 10 y = 55 .............2 \n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y \n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -5 \n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1 \n" ); document.write( "-5 x -10 y = -115 \n" ); document.write( "5 x 10 y = 55 \n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations \n" ); document.write( "0 x = -60 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is absurd \n" ); document.write( "so there is no solution to this system. If you draw a graph you will seee that they are parallel lines \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
