y = 5x – 1
–15x – 3y = 3
How many solutions does this linear system have?

one solution: (0, –1)
one solution: (1, 4)
no solution
infinite number of solutions

Respuesta :

y=5x-1
-15x-3y=3
-15x-15x+3=3
-30x=0
x=0
therefore y=5x0 -1= -1
so one solution(0,-1)

Answer:

Option 1 - There is one solution : (0,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The system of equations  [tex]y=5x-1[/tex] and [tex]-15x-3y=3[/tex]

To find : How many solutions does this linear system have?

Solution :

Let Equation (1), [tex]y=5x-1[/tex]

Equation (2), [tex]-15x-3y=3[/tex]

Applying substitution method,

Substitute y from equation (1) into (2),

[tex]-15x-3y=3[/tex]

[tex]-15x-3(5x-1)=3[/tex]

[tex]-15x-15x+3=3[/tex]

[tex]-30x=0[/tex]

[tex]x=0[/tex]

Substitute in equation (1),

[tex]y=5x-1[/tex]

[tex]y=5(0)-1[/tex]

[tex]y=-1[/tex]

Therefore, There is one solution : (0,-1)

So, Option 1 is correct.
