Answer

No Solutions. See graph below.

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $2x - y = 1$ 2. $x + 3y = 10$ 3. $3x + 4y = 15$ It asks to find all solutions and to graph. Substitute $x = 10-3y$ from equation 2 into equations 1 and 3 1. $2(10 - 3y) - y = 1$ $20 - 6y - y = 1$ $-7y = -19$ $y = 19/7$ 3. $3(10 - 3y) + 4y = 15$ $30 - 9y + 4y = 15$ $-5y = -15$ $y = 3$ Since y has two different solutions, then there are no solutions present. The lines do not intersect at one point See graph below. The red line is graph 1; the blue line is graph 2; the black line is graph 3.
