How many unique solutions are there to the system of equations below? 2x-y=6
3x+5y=-17

A. zero
B. one
C. two
D. infinite

Hello!

2x - y = 6

3x + 5y = -17

Solve systems of equations by elimination.

The easiest variable to eliminate would be y since we can simply multiply the first equation by 5:

5(2x - y = 6)

3x + 5y = -17

10x - 5y = 30

3x + 5y = -17

Eliminate y by adding both equations to each other:

10x - 5y = 30

3x + 5y = -17

-------------------

13x + 0y = 13

13x = 13

13x/13 = 13/13

x = 1

Therefore, there is only ONE solution to this system of equations because we only could derive one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
