how many solutions does the system of equations have? 6x+18y=9 and y=-1/3x+1/2

Answer 1

• Infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

Given:

• 6x + 18y = 9
• y = -1/3x + 1/2

Solution:

• 18y = -6x + 9

y = -1/3x + 1/2

• => 18y = -6x + 9

18(y = -1/3x + 1/2)

• => 18y = -6x + 9

18y = -6x + 9

Since both the equations are the same, this system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

Answer 2

D) Infinitely many

Explanation:

Given system of equations

`\left \{ {{6x+18y=9} \atop {y=-(1)/(3)x+(1)/(2) }} \right.`

Substitute second equation into first equation

`6x+18y=9\\\\6x+18(-(1)/(3)x+(1)/(2))=9\\ \\6x-6x+9=9\\\\9=9`

Therefore, since both sides are equal to each other no matter what, there are infinitely many solutions.

You can confirm that there are infinitely many solutions by looking at the graph of both functions. They overlap each other, so every solution will work.
