Question 32969: Checking a Rational Candidate in Both Rows

Original question and givens

Over the reals, the constraints (2)x+(3)y=7 and (4)x+(-3)y=11 must both hold. Does the reduced positive-denominator candidate x=3/1, y=1/3 solve the entire system?

• G001 — Over the reals, the constraints (2)x+(3)y=7 and (4)x+(-3)y=11 must both hold. Does the reduced positive-denominator candidate x=3/1, y=1/3 solve the entire system?
