Open in App

Solution

x + 3y = 11 and 2x + 6y = 11
$a_{1} = 1, b_{1} = 3, c_{1} = - 11 a_{2} = 2, b_{2} = 6, c_{2} = - 11 n o w, \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}, \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}, \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} = \frac{- 11}{- 11} = 1 \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

The pair of equations represents a pair of parallel lines.
Hence, the pair of linear equations has no solution.

Thus, the pair of linear equations is inconsistent.
