Question

How many solutions does this linear system have?

Answer 1

Answer:

No solution . Is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

=> -6x-y+2

=> -12x -2y+4

=> 1/2 = 1/2 = 1/2

Therefore, it will be parallel and thus no solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute y=-6x+2 into -12x-2y=-4

1. Start with the original equation.

-12x-2y=-4

2. Let y=-6x+2y=−6x+2.

-12x-2(-6x+2)=-4

3. Simplify.

-4=-4

Since -4=-4 is redundant information, this is a dependent system.
