Question

Consider the equation 40x-25y=15

Write a second equation to create a system that has infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

The second equation can be written by equation (1) is given below

8x-5y=3

The two equations represents the same line and therefore they have an infinite number of solutions that are true for both equations.

Explanation:

Given equation is
`40x-25y=15\hfill (1)`

To find the second equation to create the given system of equations to have infinitely many solutions :

The second equation can be written by equation (1) is given below

8x-5y=3

The two equations represents the same line and therefore they have an infinite number of solutions that are true for both equations.
