Question

If you were solving a system of equations and you came to a statement like 1 = 3, what do you know about the solution to the system? (1 point) Group of answer choices The solution is (1, 3) The solution is x = 1 and y = 3 There is no solution There are infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

Key Ideas

• Systems of equations

Solving the Question

When both sides of the equal sign are equal, there are infinite solutions.

When you are able to isolate the variable, there is only one solution.

When the equation states an untrue expression, there is no solution.

1=3 is an untrue fact. Therefore, there would be no solutions to the system.

Answer

There is no solution
