Answer:
a) Unique b) not a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is a set of equations

The system will have a unique solution if determinant formed by coefficients is not 0.
i.e. ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}12&3\\7&-4\\\end{array}\right] \\=-48+21\\=-27](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D12%263%5C%5C7%26-4%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C%3D-48%2B21%5C%5C%3D-27)
Since this value is not zero the system has a unique solution
b) To find whether a point is a solution, we can substitute that point and see. If the point satisfies both the equations, then it is a solution otherwise not.

Since right side not equals 40, the point does not satisfy even the I equaiton.
Hence not a solution
