Question

Which is true regarding the system of equations? x minus 4 y = 1. 5 x minus 20 y = 4. The system results in a false statement. The system results in an intersection at one point. The system results in many solutions because they are the same line. The system results in a true statement.

Answer 1

It is a false statement, hence it is option choice a

Explanation:

Answer 2

The system results in a false statement.

Explanation:

Let's actually solve the system

x-4y=1 (1)

5x-20y=4 (2)

Using the elimination method

Eliminate y by multiplying equ (1) by -5

We have,

-5x + 20y = -5 (3)

Add equ (3) and (2)

-5x + 20y = -5

5x - 20y = 4

0 = -1

The system results in a false statement.
