Question

Equations in Iwo V Solve the system by the addition method. 3x+8y=6 3x-8y=6 Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. OA. There is exactly one solution. The solution set is ‹› (Simplify your answer. Type an ordered pair.) B. There are infinitely many solutions. The solution set is {(x,y)|3x + 8y = 6) or ((x,y)|3x - 8y = OC. The solution set is Ø.​

Answer 1

A. there is exactly one solution. the solution set is {(2, 0)}.

Explanation:

3x + 8y = 6

3x - 8y = 6

when we add these 2 equations, we get

6x + 0 = 12

6x = 12

x = 2

now we use one of the original equations to get y :

3×2 + 8y = 6

6 + 8y = 6

8y = 0

y = 0
