Question

HELPPP MEEE !!!!!!!!!

How many solutions dose the following system of equations have y=5/2x+2 2y=5x+8

A- two
B- one
C- zero
D- infinity many

Answer 1

C. zero

Explanation:

The system of equations has no solutions. You can solve this by plugging in the y value of the first equation into the second, giving you:

`2((5)/(2)x+2)=5x+8\\simplify:\\5x+4=5x+8\\you are left with -4=0, which is not a true statement`
