Question 465005: Can you show me step-by-step how i would solve this system of equation
2x-6y=7
3x-9y=10
This is how I did it:
2x=-6y+7
3x-9y=10
3(6y+7)-9y=10
18y+21-9y=10
9y+21=10
9y=31
Is this correct?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x-6y=7
3x-9y=10
---------
6x-18y=21
6x-18y=20
21=20
The way these equations are set up, they are mutually incompatible and unsoluble. They give two different answers for the same equation..
----------
The way you did it:
2x-6y=7
2x=7+6y
x=7+6y/2
3(7+6y/2)-9y=10
(21+18y/2)-9y=10
21+18y-18y=20
21=20
Same answer..
