Answer:
always have a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation in standard form is given by:
Ax + By = C, where A,B, C are real numbers and A,B is not equal to zero.
Two linear equations with equations Ax + By = C and Dx + Ey = F
Therefore the first equation becomes: (A/B)x + y = C/B and the second equation becomes (D/E)x + y = F/E ]
Both equations are said have a solution if A/B ≠ D/E, they have no solution if A/B = D/E and they have infinite solutions if A/B = D/E, C/B = F/E.
Given that:
when a > b
ax + y = 8
bx + y = 5
Since a ≠ b, but a > b, the system has a solution
