Question 2 of 10

Use the substitution method to solve the given system of equations.
3x-2y=8

y=3/2x-5/4
A. (0, -5/4)
B. (11/2,7)
C. Infinitely many solutions
D. No solution

Answer 1

Answer: No solution

Explanation:

Since we are given what y is, we can plug in y into the first equation.

`3x-2((3)/(2) x-(5)/(4) )=8` [distribute]

`3x-3x+(5)/(2) =8` [subtract]

`(5)/(2)\\eq8`

Since this is false, then the only option is that we have no solution.
