Find a solution to the linear equation 3x+y=−9.(Enter values for x and y that make the equation true.)

Sagot :

ANSWER:

Infinite solutions, given as follows:

[tex]y=-9-3x[/tex]

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following equation:

[tex]3x+y=-9[/tex]

Solving for y:

[tex]y=-9-3x[/tex]

The solution of the linear equation would be infinite, since the value of y depends on x.

For example:

when x = 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-9-3\cdot0 \\ y=-9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

One of the infinite solutions can be when x = 0 and y = -9
