Solve by the elimination method. What is the solution of the system? o A. The solution is 3x-4y =-5 -6x+8y 10 O B. O C. Type an ordered pair. Simplity There are infinitely many solut There is no solution.
Solution
3x - 4y = -5 -----(1)
-6x + 8y = -10 -----(2)
Multiply euqation 1 by -2 , we get: -6x +8y = 10 i,e, equation 1
on bustracting the both get 0 =0
So, they are same equations.Hence infinite solution
Option B
2x +7y = 19
x= 17 -5y
Substiute the value o f x :
2(17 -5y) +7y = 19
34 -10y +7y =19
34 -3y =19
3y = 15
y = 5
Now substitute the value of y to get x: x= 17-5y = 17 -25 = -8
Solution ( -8, 5)
