What is the solution of the following system?

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:  B) no solutions</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's isolate the variable y in the first equation

-2x - y = 1

-2x = 1 + y

1+y = -2x

y = -2x-1

Then we'll plug this into the second equation

-4x - 2y = -1

-4x - 2(-2x-1) = -1

-4x + 4x + 2 = -1

0x + 2 = -1

0 + 2 = -1

2 = -1

We run into a contradiction. No matter what x value we pick, the last equation will never be true. This leads to a domino effect to cause the first set of original equations to never be true when considered as a system.

Therefore, this system is inconsistent. There are no solutions. These two lines graph out parallel lines that never intersect.

Your answer is: Infinitely Many

Any value of  x  makes the equation true.  Also, they are all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are solving to find all Complex Number Solutions: ↓

Solve the equation to find all of the complex solutions and that means that equation will be always true.
