Question 194296: Can someone help me please? I am having a problem solving this. Thank-you, much.
x+5y=3 (1)
x=5-5y (2) Found 2 solutions by Earlsdon, edjones:Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system of equations:
1)
2) Substitute this into equation 1) for x and solve for y.
1a) Simplify.
1b) Not so!!! There is no solution to this sytem of equations.
These two equations represent parallel lines.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1)
x+5y=3
5y=3-x
y=3/5 - x/5
.
2)
x=5-5y
-5y=x-5
y=1 - x/5
.
Since the slopes are equal (-x/5) but y in equation 1) is not equal to y in equation 2) then there is no answer to the system because the lines are parallel.
