Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:(32/15, -2/5)
Step-by-step explanation:(1) ³/₂x - 2y = 4
(2) x + ⅓y = 2
(3) 3x - 4y = 8 Multiplied (1) by 2
(4) 3x + y = 6 Multiplied (2) by 3
5y = -2 Subtracted (3) from (4)
(5) y = -⅖ Divided each side by 5
x + ⅓(-⅖) = 2 Substituted (5) into (2)
x - ²/₁₅ = 2
x = 2 + ²/₁₅ Added ²/₁₅ to each side
x = 32/15
The system of equations has only one solution: (32/15, -2/5).
