Question

How many solutions does this system have?

5 x minus y = 3. 2 y = 10 x + 2.
one
two
an infinite number
no solution

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

I took the quiz

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

Let us approach this question geometrically . Number of solutions is the number of meeting points of the two graphs . We can see that the given equations are equations of lines . First equation is 5x - y = 3.

Second equation when divided by two can be written as 5x - y = -1.

We can see that these lines are parallel and therefore doesn't intersect.So no solution.
