005 Sample Final A, Question 9

Question Solve the following system of equations

${\begin{aligned}2x+3y&=&1\\-x+y&=&-3\end{aligned}}$

Step 1:
Add two times the second equation to the first equation. So we are adding $-2x+2y=-6$ to the first equation.
This leads to:
${\begin{array}{rcl}0+5y&=&-5\\-x+y&=&-3\end{array}}$

Step 2:
This gives us that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y = -1.}
Now we just need to find x. So we plug in -1 for y in the second equation.

Final Answer:
