Question

The linear equation 3x – 11y = 10 has

a) Unique solution
b) two solution
c) infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

Correct option: c) infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

We have an equation with two variables, so as we have a system with less equations (just one) than variables (two), we have an infinite number of solutions.

To find some solutions, we can choose values for x and then just calculate the value of y:

x = 0:

-11y = 10 -> y = -10/11

x = 1:

3 - 11y = 10 -> y = -7/11

x = 2:

6 - 11y = 10 -> y = -4/11

And so on.

So the correct option is c): infinitely many solutions
