Question

5. Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.

9x + 6y = 60
-27x Ð 18y = -180

Here's where I am at now:

9x(3) + 6y(3) = 60
27x +18y + 60

27 x + 18y = 60
-27x -18y = 180

Im stuck here because the x and y appear to cancel.

Any suggestions or assistance anyone?

Answer 1

it has no solution because 0 doesnt equal 180
the lines never meet
