Answer:

The system of equation has infinite number of solution.

u = k and x = (3-k)/2 where k is any real number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation:

2u + 4x = -6 ................ 1

u + 2x = 3 ................... 2

From equation 2;

u = 3 - 2x ....... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 1;

From 1;

2u + 4x = -6

2(3-2x)+4x = -6

6 - 4x + 4x = -6

6 = -6

Since we cannot find the value of x, this means that the equation has infinite number number of solution.

We can let u = k

Substitute u = k into equation 3;

u = 3- 2x

k = 3-2x

2x = 3 - k

x = (3-k)/2
