Hello!
Set the two equations equal to each other to solve:
y = -4x + 11
y = 1/2x + 2
-4x + 11 = 1/2x + 2
Add 4x to both sides:
-4x + 4x + 11 = 1/2x + 2 **Convert 4x into 8/2x***
11 = 9/2x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:
11 - 2 = 9/2x + 2 - 2
9 = 9/2x
Divide both sides by 9/2:
9 * (2/9) = 9/2x * (2/9)
x = 2.
Answer:
The system has infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
----> equation A
----> equation B
Multiply by -2 both sides equation A
----> equation C
Compare equation B and equation C
The equations are identical (is the same line)
therefore
The system has infinitely many solutions
Is a consistent dependent system
