Question 24316
<pre>
9x+6y=14
3x+2y=11
Solve for x and y

I know that you have to use substitution but i keep getting answers like, 9x+66-9x=14 so it is going
to turn out with your x's turning into a zero and you come out with 0=52 and that is obviousley not
true...PLEASE HELP ASAP I have been working on this for at least an hour

i looked for examples similiar to this problem but i could'nt find any

The other person seems to be saying a lot, but in this author's opinion, it's TOO  MUCH, and 
can easily confuse someone, as opposed to helping him/her to understand this problem and
then provide a reasonable and logical answer.

  9x + 6y = 14 ---- eq (i)
  3x + 2y = 11 ---- eq (ii)
-  9x - 6y = - 33 ----- Multiplying eq (ii) by - 3 --- eq (iii)
             0 = - 19 ----- Adding eqs (i) & (iii)
             0 = - 19 is a FALSE statement, and shows that:
   1) there are NO SOLUTIONS to this system
   2) the system is INCONSISTENT
   3) the 2 equations are parallel, have the same slope, and as such, will NEVER INTERSECT</font></pre>
