Using the substitution method, Vito is solving the following system of equations algebraically:

y + 3x = −4

2x − 3y = −21

Which equivalent equation could Vito use?

1) 2(−3x − 4) + 3x = −21

2) 2(3x − 4) + 3x = −21 

3) 2x − 3(−3x − 4) = −21

4) 2x − 3(3x − 4) = −21

In attempting to solve the system of equations 

y = 3x − 2 and 6x − 2y = 4, John graphed the two equations on his graphing calculator. Because he saw only one line, John wrote that the answer to the system is the empty set. Is he correct? Explain your answer.

No. There are infinite solutions.
