Question

How many solutions will this system of equations have?. . x - 2y = 24. 3x - 6y = 72. . No solution. . Infinite solutions. . One solution. . Two solutions

Answer 1

Infinitte solutions.
Because :
I move out from x-2y=24 x=24+2y and I substitute this to second equation
3(24+2y)-6y=72
72+6y-6y=72
72-72+6y-6y=0
so 0=0 .

Answer 2

To find the answer, multiply the first equation by 3 and subtract the second equation from the first. This is shown below,
3(x - 2y = 24)
- 3x - 6y = 72
The answer to this system is equal to 0 = 0. Since both sides of the equation are zero, the system has infinite solutions.
