Question

How many solutions does this system of equations have? -3x-12y=3 and 2x+8y=-2

Answer 1

Infinite solutions

Explanation:

-3x-12y=3 and 2x+8y=-2

Divide the first equation by -3

-3x/-3-12y/-3=3/-3

x +4y = -1

Divide the second equation by 2

2x/2 +8y/2 = -2/2

x +4y = -1

They are the same equation. That means they are the same line. That means they have infinite solutions.
