Homework Statement
4/x - 3/y=0
6/x +3/2y = 2
so I can make my own variables up.
U= 4/x
V= 3/y
my problem is, how do I convert that on the second equation
would 6/x turn into 1.5U and 3/2y turn into 1/V?
No,smashbrohamme said:would 6/x turn into 1.5U and 3/2y turn into 1/V?
Solving a system of equations problem involves finding the values of all the variables that satisfy all the given equations. This can be done by using different methods such as substitution, elimination, and graphing.
The purpose of solving a system of equations problem is to find the values of the variables that make all the given equations true. This can help in finding solutions to real-world problems, analyzing relationships between different variables, and making predictions.
Yes, a system of equations can have more than one solution. This is known as an infinite solution, where the equations form the same line or are parallel to each other. It can also have no solutions, where the equations form parallel lines that never intersect.
A consistent system of equations has at least one solution, while an inconsistent system of equations has no solution. This can be determined by graphing the equations or using algebraic methods, such as substitution or elimination.
Yes, a system of equations problem can have any number of variables. However, the number of equations must be equal to the number of variables to have a unique solution. If the number of equations is less than the number of variables, the system will have an infinite number of solutions.
