Answer:
only one solution
Explanation:
Complete question:
Determine whether the system of linear equations has one and only one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. 2x − y = 2 3x + y = −6 one and only one solution infinitely many solutions no solution Find the solution, if one exists. (If there are infinitely many solutions, express x and y in terms of the parameter t. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) (x, y) =
Given the expression
2x − y = 2 .... 1
3x + y = −6 ..... 2
We are to determine the number of solution the equation has:
Add equation 1 and 2
2x + 3x = 2 - 6
5x = -4
x = -4/5
Substitute x = -4/5 into 1
From 1: 2x − y = 2 .... 1
2(-4/5) - y = 2
-8/5 - y = -2
-y = -2+8/5
-y = -10+8/5
-y = -2/5
y = 2/5
Since the value of x and y are just 1 hence the system of equations has ine solution
