if a system has an infinite number of solutions, use set-builder notation to write the solution set. If a system has no solution, state this.
5x + 6y = 14
x - 3y = 7
-------------
5x + 6y = 14
5x -15y = 35
-------------
Subtract and solve for "y":
21y = -21
y = -1
----
Solve for "x":
x - 3y = 7
x + 3 = 7
x = 4
---------------------------
