Answer:
D. no solutions
Explanation:
The first equation can be simplified to standard form:
0.5(8w +2v) = 3
4w +v = 3 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
__
The second equation can also be simplified to a comparable standard form:
8w = 2 -v +4w
4w +v = 2 . . . . . . add v -4w
__
Comparing these two equations, we find the variable expressions to be the same, but the constants to be different. If any set of variable values were to satisfy one of these equations, it could not satisfy the other equation. There are no solutions to the system.
