<u>the correct question is</u>

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?

Let

x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day

y-------> the cost to support an archer per day

we know that

4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1

2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2

If you multiply equation 1 by 2

2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10

so

equation 1 and equation 2 are the same

The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.
