You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the other tutor's answers were correct except for the last one in which the correct solution should have been 3x + 5y = 9 rather than 3x + 5y = 11.

that was a minor error in subtraction at the end.

also, the final answers were not in the correct format you requested.

the standard form of a linear equation is ax + by = c

you needed the form of ax + by - c = 0

here's my solutions to each of your problems.

Welcome to the world of Mathematics with JOSGARITHMETIC - a world in which you're CERTAIN to get wrong answers, about 99% of the time.!!

By now, I'm sure that people who ask for help keep as far away as possible from his answers. You should do the same!

Funny thing is, the word arithmetic appears in his name!
