Lisa is working with the system of equations $${x+2y=7}$$ and $${2x-5y=5}$$. She multiplies the first equation by $$2$$ and then subtracts the second equation to find $${9y=9}$$, telling her that $${y=1}$$. Lisa then finds that $${x=5}$$. Thinking about this procedure, Lisa wonders:
There are lots of ways I could go about solving this problem. I could add 5 times the first equation and twice the second, or I could multiply the first equation by $$-2$$ and add the second. I seem to find that there is only one solution to the two equations, but I wonder if I will get the same solution if I use a different method?
Does the answer to (1) change if we have a system of two equations in two unknowns with no solutions? What if there are infinitely many solutions?
