Answer:
If the slopes are different, there is one solution.
If the slopes the same but the y intercepts different, there is no solution.
If the slopes and y intercepts are the same, there are infinitely many solutions.
2x + y = 4
2y = 6 - 2x
Solve for y on both
y = 4 - 2x
y = 3 - x
They are both different, so there is one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 8, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating corresponding x and y coordinates , then
- y = - x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )
y = x - 5 → (1)
2x - 5y = 1 → (2)
Substitute y = x - 5 into (2)
2x - 5(x - 5) = 1 ← distribute and simplify left side
2x - 5x + 25 = 1
- 3x + 25 = 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
- 3x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 8 - 5 = 3
first subtract the last equation from the first. this gives:-
-x + y = -8 .....................(1)
Then multiply the first equation by 2 and add it to the 2nd equations This gives
9x = 18
so x = 2
and from equation (1) y = -8 + 2 = -6
Substituting for x and y in the second equation
z = (24 -5(2) -12) / 2 = 1
Answer is choice b.
