Question

Does the equation 2x+ 3y=-6, 4x+6y=-12 have infinetley many solutions

Answer 1

Infinitely many solutions.

Explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

2x+3y=−6;4x+6y=−12

Step: Solve2x+3y=−6for x:

2x+3y=−6

2x+3y+−3y=−6+−3y(Add -3y to both sides)

2x=−3y−6

2x/2 = −3y−6/2

(Divide both sides by 2)

x= −3/2y−3

Step: Substitute −3/2y−3 for x in 4x+6y=−12:

4x+6y=−12 4(−3/2y−3)+6y=−12

−12=−12(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−12+12=−12+12(Add 12 to both sides)

0=0

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Answer 2
