Question

Which statement describes the solution to this system of equations?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D  There is an infinite number of solutions to the system of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put the first equation in standard form by dividing it by 2, you get ...

  x -2y = 4

When you put the second equation in standard form by dividing it by 8, you get ...

  x -2y = 4

These are the same equation, so describe the same line. There are an infinite number of (x, y) pairs that will satisfy this equation.

There is an infinite number of solutions.
