Question 51381: Would you please help me with this, I have looed at the other questions and do not see this one. Thank you so much.
Solve each of the following systems by addition. If a unique solution does not exist, state whether the system is inconsistent or dependent.
2x + 3y = 1
5x + 3y = 16

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1st: 2x + 3y = 1
2nd: 5x + 3y = 16
Subtract 1st from 2nd to get:
3rd: 3x=15
x=5
Substitute that into 1st to find y, as follows:
2(5)+3y=1
3y=-9
y=-3
SOLUTION:
x=5, y=-3
