Question

check whather the given pair of equations x+3y-6=0 and 2x+17y-13=0 is consistent

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to check the consistency we need to find the ratio of the coefficients of the two equations

the equations are in the form a1x+b1y+c1=0

a2x+b2y+c2=0

now find a1/a2=1/2

b1/b2=3/17

c1/c2=-6/-13=6/13

the system is consistent with a unique solution because here none of the ratios is equal to the other
