Question

Choose the correct words from the drop-down menu to make a true statement about the system of equations.

y = 15x – 25
x – 5y = 2

Using substitution, the system has
Choose...

A . infinitely many solutions

B. no solution

C. one solution

Answer 1

Explanation:

Substitute the first equation into the second equation in y:

`x - 5( (1)/(5)x - (2)/(5) ) = 2`

Use the Distributive Property:

`x - x + 2= 2`

Subtract:

`2 = 2`

A. Infinite Solutions.

Whatever value x equals, the equation remains the same.
