Question 113523: Solve the system of equations using the addition elimination method. If the answer is a unique solution present it as an ordered pair (x,y) if not specify whether the answer is no solution or infinitely many solutions
3x - 11y =9
-9x + 33y = 18

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1st: 3x - 11y =9
2nd: -9x + 33y = 18
-----------------
Multiply 1st by -3 to get:
3rd: -9x + 33y = -27
--------------------
2nd and 34d indicate that the lines are parallel; there is
no solution; the system is inconsistent.
