SOLUTION: 9x + 2 = 3y (1) y - 3x = 8 (2) (1) y=3x+2/3 (2) y=3x+8 3x+2/3=3x+8 2/3=8 no solution.

Algebra ->  Systems-of-equations -> SOLUTION: 9x + 2 = 3y (1) y - 3x = 8 (2) (1) y=3x+2/3 (2) y=3x+8 3x+2/3=3x+8 2/3=8 no solution.       Log On


   

Question 216661: 9x + 2 = 3y (1)
y - 3x = 8 (2)
(1) y=3x+2/3
(2) y=3x+8
3x+2/3=3x+8
2/3=8
no solution.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(1) 9x +2 = 3y
(2) y-3x=8,,,,or y=8+3x
.
subst (2) in (1)
.
9x +2 = 3(8+3x) = 24 + 9x
.
since this can never be true, problem has no solution
.
