Solve the system below by the method of your choice. Identify systems with no solution and systems
with infinitely many solutions using set notation to express their solution sets.
Solution
Given
y = 6 - 2x (1)
4x + 2y = 12 (2)
rearranging equation (1)
adding both sides \"2x\"
2x + y = 6 - 2x + 2x
2x + y = 6 (3)
we represent a line as => ax + by = c
here \"a\" is the coefficient of x.
\"b\" is the coefficient of y.
and \"c\" is the constant term.
a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 = c1 / c2
here a1 , b1 , c1 are for the first line and a2 , b2 and c2 are for the second line
2x + y = 6
4x + 2y = 12
therefore
2/4 = 1/2 = 6/12
we get
1/2 = 1/2 = 1/2
since the ratio of coefficient of two lines are equal therefore these lines are Coincident line or they have many solutions.
