-2x + 6y - 1 = 0

5x - 15y + 2.5 = 0

Solve each of the following systems using elimination

Please help me!

Since you have to use elimination, you want to manipulate your 2 equations to have either your x or y to have equal but opposite values (one positive one negative). After that you will add your 2 equations together and have just one variable remaining. Solve for that variable, then plug that value back into one of your original 2 equations to solve for your other variable.

I would work through it, but I'm on my phone

Thank you

Uh, did you even look at the equations?

@OP Pretty sure you can't solve this set of simultaneous linear equations in the normal sense, as they produce an infinite number of solutions.

The two equations are the exact same. That is, -2x + 6y - 1 ≡ 5x - 15y + 2.5.

Like I stated in my original post, I was on my phone and didn't work the problem. I just gave him the steps to use for solving the problem.
In the case where the answer comes out to be 0 = 0, this would imply that the answer is all real numbers. If the answer came out to be not equal (i.e. 7=5), this would imply there is no solution.

if thats grade 10, i wonder what you guys do in grade 1

xD

Technically they are not simultaneous equations because they are the same equation. If you multiply equation-1 by 2.5, you get equation-2.

iirc i didnt learn to multiply until grade 4. poor school districts suck
