Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below?

y = negative 2 x minus 6 and 2 y = negative 4 x minus 12

Answer 1

Infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

The equation, when set up will be

2(-2x-6)=-4x-12

-4x-12=-4x-12

+12 +12 Add 12 to both sides

------------------------

-4x=-4x Divide by -4 to both sides

0=0 You get zero equals zero

Have a good day and stay safe!

Answer 2

Answer: Infinite solutions.

Explanation:

`y=-2x-6\\2y=-4x-12`

Plug the value of y into the second equation.

`\\ 2(-2x-6)=-4x-12\\-4x-12=-4x-12`

Add 12 on both sides.

`-4x-12+12=-4x-12+12\\-4x=-4x`

Add 4x on both sides.

`-4x+4x=-4x+4x`

`0=0`
