You asked:

Solve the system of equations:\[\begin{aligned}X + Y &= 14\\3 x - y &= -8\end{aligned}\]

MathBot Answer:

The system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

$$\begin{aligned}X &= 14 - Y\\x &= \frac{y}{3} - \frac{8}{3}\end{aligned}$$

\(Y\) is a free variable.


\(y\) is a free variable.
