<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions  of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

Compare and Contrast: Below are two equations. Solve each equation and compare the two solutions. Choose the statement that is t
grin007 [14]
Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.

Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5

Let us examine the given answers.
a. Equation #1 and #2 have the same number of solutions.
    FALSE
b. Equation @1 has more solutions than Equation #2.
    TRUE
c. Equation #1 has fewer solutions than equation #2.
    FALSE
d. None of the statements a,b, or c apply.
    FALSE

Answer: b.
