Solved by pluggable solver: Solving a System of Linear Equations by Elimination/Addition |
Lets start with the given system of linear equations


In order to solve for one variable, we must eliminate the other variable. So if we wanted to solve for y, we would have to eliminate x (or vice versa).
So lets eliminate x. In order to do that, we need to have both x coefficients that are equal but have opposite signs (for instance 2 and -2 are equal but have opposite signs). This way they will add to zero.
So to make the x coefficients equal but opposite, we need to multiply both x coefficients by some number to get them to an equal number. So if we wanted to get 2 and 4 to some equal number, we could try to get them to the LCM.
Since the LCM of 2 and 4 is 4, we need to multiply both sides of the top equation by 2 and multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -1 like this:
Multiply the top equation (both sides) by 2
Multiply the bottom equation (both sides) by -1
So after multiplying we get this:


Notice how 4 and -4 and 36 and -6 add to zero (ie )
However 36 and -12 add to 24 (ie );
So we're left with

which means no value of x or y value will satisfy the system of equations. So there are no solutions
So this system is inconsistent |

Start with the given system of equations:


In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.
So let's solve for y on the first equation
Start with the given equation
Subtract from both sides
Rearrange the equation
Divide both sides by 
Break up the fraction
Reduce
Now lets graph (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)
Graph of 
So let's solve for y on the second equation
Start with the given equation
Subtract from both sides
Rearrange the equation
Divide both sides by 
Break up the fraction
Reduce
Now lets add the graph of to our first plot to get:
Graph of (red) and (green)
From the graph, we can see that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect. So there are no solutions and the system is inconsistent. |

1)
.
Divide the second equation by 2. You will get
.
Now compare two equations in this system. They have the same left parts and different right parts.
Hence, the system is inconsistent. You need not to make long calculations. You can establish it in couple lines.
2) The same approach works for the second system, too.
