Elimination Method:

\

The system of equations are

\

\"\" Equation (1)

\

\"\"    Equation (2)

\

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient  of the a - variables are 5 and 2 and their least common multipe is 10, so multiply each equations by the value that will make the a - coefficient 10.

\

Add the equations to elimante a - variable.

\

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns.

\

Because 0 = 92 is not true, this system has no solutions.

\

\"\"

\

The system has no solutions.
