What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite

Hi there!

The way that an infinite number of solutions is achieved is when the two equations, when solved together, get an answer which is just a number equal to the same number. To do this, first substitute 6x-b in for y in the second equation.

-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-b)=-3

-3x+3x-\frac{1}{2}b=-3

-\frac{1}{2}b=-3

Now, we see that b needs to be equal to -3 when multiplied by -1/2. When both sides are divided by -1/2, b becomes equal to 6. Thus, b must be 6.

Check work:

6x-6=y

-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-6)=-3

-3x+3x-3=-3

-3=-3

Thus, as they are equal to each other, the answer is correct. b = 6.

Hope this helps!

A is the correct answer. A coefficient is just a number that appears in front of a variable. Please note that a number that doesn't have a variable behind it is still a coefficient since there is technically a variable behind it with a power of 0.
