SOLUTION: How many solutions does this linear system have? y = x+ 2 6x � 4y = �10 one solution: (�0.6, �1.6) one solution: (�0.6, 1.6) no solution infinite number of solutions

Question 1035972: How many solutions does this linear system have?
y = x+ 2
6x � 4y = �10
one solution: (�0.6, �1.6)
one solution: (�0.6, 1.6)
no solution
infinite number of solutions
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = x+ 2
6x � 4y = �10
substitute the first into the second.
6x-4(x+2)= -10
6x-4x-8=-10
2x=-2
x=-1
y=1 One solution, (-1,1)
That is none of the choices above, but it is the right answer. Perhaps the choices were not correct or the equations are different from these.
