What is the solution of the following system of linear equations? −21 + 15x = 6y −5x + 2y = −8 Select one: A. (15, -7) B. (4, 11) C. no solution D. infinitely many solutions

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations:

A) [tex]-21+15x=6y[/tex]

B) [tex]-5x+2y=-8[/tex]

Simplifying and rearranging equation A.

Dividing each term by 3 (common factor for each term) in equation A.

[tex]\frac{-21}{3}+\frac{15x}{3}=\frac{6y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]-7+5x=2y[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by [tex]2y[/tex]

[tex]-7+5x-2y=2y-2y[/tex]

[tex]-7+5x-2y=0[/tex]

Adding 7 both sides.

[tex]-7+7+5x-2y=0+7[/tex]

[tex]5x-2y=7[/tex]  

Adding the above equation to equation B.

   [tex]5x-2y=7[/tex]  

+ [tex]-5x+2y=-8[/tex]

We have [tex]0=-1[/tex]

which is not true.

Hence the system has no solution. (Answer)
