Translating this word problem into an algebraic equation, we get:

3x - 2/5 = 8/5.

Let's combine the constants:  adding 2/5 to both sides of this equation yields  

3x = 10/5, or 3x = 2.

Solving for x:  x = 2/3

How many solutions does the system have? \begin{cases} 3x+y=8 \\\\ 2x+2y=8 \end{cases} ⎩ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎧ ​ 3x+y=8 2x+2y=8 ​ Choose 1
ELEN [110]

Answer:

This system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), then the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is:

3x+y=8 (1)

2x+2y=8 (2)

Let's multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract it to the second equation  

6x-2x+2y-2y=16-8

4x=8  

x=2

Using this value in (1) we can find y.

3(2)+y=8

6+y=8

y=2

Therefore, this system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), the answer is A.

I hope it helps you!
