Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x-6y=-12 " " x-2y=10 Use the substitution method to justify that the given system of equations has no solution. What do you know about the two lines in this system of equations?

Answer 1

The two lines in this system of equations are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the relation between 2 lines

• If the system of linear equations has one solution, then the two line are intersected
• If the system of linear equations has no solution, then the two line are parallel
• If the system of linear equations has many solutions, then the two line are coincide (over each other)

∵ The system of equation is

3x - 6y = -12 ⇒ (1)

x - 2y = 10 ⇒ (2)

To solve the system using the substitution method, find x in terms of y in equation (2)

∵ x - 2y = 10

- Add 2y to both sides

∴ x = 2y + 10 ⇒ (3)

Substitute x in equation (1) by equation (3)

∵ 3(2y + 10) - 6y = -12

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 6y + 30 - 6y = -12

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 30 = -12

∴ The left hand side ≠ the right hand side

∴ There is no solution for the system of equations

∴ The system of equations represents two parallel lines

The two lines in this system of equations are parallel
