Question

Determine the values of n and m so that the following system have infinite number of solutions

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 3

m = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the second equation by 4

4(n - 2)x + y = 4(n + m)          Y is now correct.

4(n - 2) = 4                              Remove the brackets    

4n - 8 = 4                                Add 8 to both sides

4n = 8 + 4                               Combine

4n = 12                                    Divide by 4

n = 3                                        x is now correct

4(n - 2) = 4

4(3 -2) = 4

4 = 4

Now you have to worry about m

4(n + m) = 10

n = 3

4(3 + m) = 10                               Divide by 4

m + 3 = 10/4

m + 3 = 2.5                                 Subtract 3 from both sides.

m = 2.5 - 3

m = - 1/2
