Use any method to solve the system. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If the system is dependent enter a for x and enter y in terms of a.)
(x, y) = ( , )
| x | + | 3y | = | 17 |
| 5x | + | 3y | = | 5 |
Solution
-x + 3x=17
5x +3y=5
subtracting both equations
6x=-12
x=-2
plugging back the value of x
2 +3y=17
3y=15
y=5
Solution is (-2,5)
