Solve system of equations using the method of substitution. Identify wether the system represents parallel, coincident, or parallel lines.5x+2y=167.5x+3y=24

Respuesta :

Given

5x+2y=16 ---(1)

7.5x+3y=24 ----(2)

Find

1) value of x and y

2) Type of system

Explanation

From equation (1)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x+2y=16 \\ 5x=16-2y \\ x=\frac{16-2y}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Putting this value of x in equation 2

[tex]\begin{gathered} 7.5x+3y=24 \\ 7.5(\frac{16-2y}{5})+3y=24 \\ 1.5(16-2y)+3y=24 \\ 24-3y+3y=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

From here we cannot find the values of x and y as 3y and -3y will cancel each other. Hence there is not a particular solution

Checking the type of system

From these equations we get

[tex]\frac{a1}{a2}=\frac{b1}{b2}=\frac{c1}{c2}[/tex]

Therefore the lines are coincident to each other

Therefore the lines have infinte solutions

Final Answer

Therefore the lines have infinte solutions

The lines are coincident to each other
