Question 62978: Solve the following system of linear equations by the elimination method:
y=2x-5
8x-4y=20
Answer by uma(370) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The given set of equations are multiples of each other and hence will have infinite solutions.
If x = 0, y = -5
If x = 1, y = -3 and so on.
Corresponding to each value of x, we get a value for y.
Thus the given set of equations have infinite solutions.
Good Luck!!!
