How many solutions 2x+3y=-3 and 3x + 5y = -9

Since the slopes of the two lines are the not equal, they will have only one solution. The solution will be a point and can be found using the method given below.

We can find the solutions by simultaneously solving the two equations.

From first equation, the value of y comes out to be:



Using this value of y in second equation, we get:



Using this value of x, we can find y:



Therefore, there is only one solution to the given equations is which is (12, -9)

Your answer should be 1/3. i hope i could ! good luck : )
