Question

Hello can someone please help me. I'll give 50 points.

How many solutions will this system of equations have?
y = -3.5x - 3.5

y = -3.5x + 3.5

Answer 1

No solutions

Set equations equal to each other
-3.5x - 3.5 = -3.5x + 3.5

The -3.5x on both sides of the equation cancels out, leaving

-3.5 = 3.5

But -3.5 does NOT equal 3.5, so the solution to the system of equations is false. This means that there are no solutions.
