Question

How do you solve the system of equations `3x = - y + 7` and `6x+2y = 1`?

Answer 1

No Solutions.

Explanation:

Solving the first equation for `y`:
`y=7-3x`
plugging this in the second equation:

`6x+2(7-3x)=1`
expanding

`6x+14-6x=1`

combining like Terms:

`14=1`

contradiction, so no Solutions.
