Answer:

a. lines intersecting at a single point

b. one solution

Explanation:

a. The equations can be rewritten as:

y = -5x+23 and y = -1/6x+1

Comparing the equations with standard equation: y=mx+c, where m is the gradient of the line formed by the linear equation.

Since the gradient of the lines are different then the lines cannot be parallel and will intersent at one point.

b. The equation will have one solution as below.

The equations can be rewritten as:

5x+y=23

5x+30y=30

Subtracting both equation will result in,

29y=7

=> y=7/29

Hence x= 660/29
