Two systems of equations are given below. For each system, choose the best description of its solution. If applicable, give the solution. x-2y = 4 The system has no solution.The system has a unique solution: x+2y = 4 =, xy, The system has infinitely many solutions.They must satisfy the following equation: x+3y = 3 The system has no solution.The system has a unique solution: x-3y = 3 , The system has infinitely many solutions.
Solution
First system:
x-2y = 4 .... (1)
-x + 2y = 4
Multiplying this both sides by -1,
x - 2y = -4 ...(2)
From (1) and (2),
4 = -4, which is false forever.
So the given system has no solution.
Second system:
-x + 3y = 3 ... (1)
x - 3y = -3
Multiplying this both sides by -1,
-x + 3y = 3 ...(2)
Both (1) and (2) represent same equation.
So we have two unknown variables with just 1 equation.
So the given system has infinitely many solutions.
