Question 353205: please help
use the method of addition or method of elimination to solve the system of linear equations.
5x+2y=70;15x+6y=20
the answer i got is 0=190
but i'm told the correct answer is 0=-190
will you please explain how you come up with the answer
thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Those answers are identical.
0=190
Multiply both sides by (-1).
0=-190
Either way, this is an inconsistent system which means your two lines are parallel and never meet, hence no solution.
