Question

(08.03)Consider the following set of equations:

Equation M: 3y = 3x + 6
Equation P: y = x + 2

Which of the following best describes the solution to the given set of equations?
No solution
One solution
Two solutions
Infinite solutions

Answer 1

infinite solutions

Explanation:

Answer 2

Infinite solutions

Explanation:

Equation M is equation P multiplied by 3. The equations are dependent, so any solution of one of them is also a solution of the other. There are an infinite number of (x, y) pairs that will satisfy either (both) equation(s).
