Question

How many solutions does a system of equations have when solving results in the statement 3 = 5?

A. One solution, x = 3
B. No solution
C. Infinitely many solutions
D. One solution, x = 5

Answer 1

B. No solution

Explanation:

Given that the result of the equation is 3 = 5

Therefore the results of the equation is impossible to be correct, and therefore, there are no values that can be given to the variables to make the equation true.

The characteristics of an equation with no solution is one whose result makes a statement that is false, such as given in the question, and the equations are said to be contradictory or not compatible.
