Question
In Problems 17-54, solve each system of equations. If the system has no solution, say that it is inconsisten $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{3}{2} y=-5 \\ \frac{3}{4} x+\frac{1}{3} y=11\end{array}\right.$
Step 1
Multiply each term in the first equation by 6 (the least common multiple of 3 and 2) and each term in the second equation by 12 (the least common multiple of 4 and 3). First equation: \[ 6 \left(\frac{1}{3} x - \frac{3}{2} y\right) = 6(-5) \] \[ 2x - 9y = Show more…
