For each of your problems, solve both of the equations for . In other words, using the rules for manipulating equations, rearrange both equations in the problem so that each is in the form . Then compare the and parts of each equation.

You will have two equations:
and

If , then your system has exactly one element in the solution set.

If AND , then your system has an empty solution set.

If AND , then your system has many elements in the solution set, infinitely many, in fact.
