Question
Solve each system using the elimination method. If a system is inconsistent or has dependent equations, say so. $$\begin{array}{l}2 x-5 y=11 \\3 x+y=8\end{array}$$
Step 1
This will allow us to eliminate y by adding the two equations. The system of equations becomes: \[ \begin{array}{l} 2x - 5y = 11 \\ 15x + 5y = 40 \end{array} \] Show more…

Solve each system by elimination. If the system is inconsistent or has dependent equations, say so. See Examples 6–9. $$ \begin{aligned} &2 x-5 y=11\\ &3 x+y=8 \end{aligned} $$
Solve each system using the elimination method. If a system is inconsistent or has dependent equations, say so. $$ \begin{array}{c} x-\frac{1}{2} y=2 \\ -x+\frac{2}{5} y=-\frac{8}{5} \end{array} $$
