1.) To solve the system of two linear equations:
−3x−4y=−23
3x−5y=5
Add the two equations together:
−3x − 4y + 3x − 5y = −23 + 5
−9y = −18
Divide by -9 to get:
y = 2
Now, substitute y = 2 into one of the original equations to find x:
−3x − 4(2) = −23
−3x − 8 = −23
−3x = −15
x = 5
The solution is (5, 2).
2.) The system of equations has:
8x−6y=48
8x+6y=48
These equations are parallel and represent the same line since if you divide the second equation by 2, you get the first equation. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.
3.) For the elimination with multiplication, first align the coefficients of x or y by multiplying the necessary equations:
4x−6y=−48
−2x+4y=30
Multiply the second equation by 2:
4x−6y=−48
−4x+8y=60
Now, add the two equations together:
(4x−6y) + (−4x+8y) = (−48) + (60)
2y = 12
y = 6
Substitute y = 6 back into one of the original equations to find x:
4x−6(6)=−48
4x−36=−48
4x=−12
x=−3
The solution is (−3, 6).
4.) To solve the system of equations:
3x−4y=40
5x−5y=55
We can use either substitution or elimination. For convenience, let's multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 3:
15x−20y=200
15x−15y=165
Now, subtract the second equation from the first:
(15x−20y) − (15x−15y) = (200) − (165)
−5y = 35
y = −7
Substitute y = −7 back into one of the original equations to find x:
3x−4(−7)=40
3x+28=40
3x=12
x=4
The solution is (4,−7).
5.) When we have:
12x−15y=18
4x−5y=6
By inspection, the second equation is just 1/3 of the first equation. This means these two equations represent the same line. Therefore, the system has infinitely many solutions.
