First simplify eq. 2,

Substitute from eq. 1,



True.
Eq. 1 and eq. 2 are the same equation.
Infinite number of solutions.

since x is defined, use it in equation two.
-2(2y - 9) + 4y = 18
=> -4y + 18 + 4y = 18
=> -4y + 4y = 18 - 18 = 0
y = 0; thus x = -9

x = 2y-9
-2x+4y = 18

put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 2y = -9
-2x + 4y = 18
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer:
This linear system is singular. It has no solution
---
you can see this by putting the equations in slope-intercept form:
x - 2y = -9
-2x + 4y = 18
---
2y = x + 9
4y = 2x + 18
---
y = 1/2x + 9/2
y = 2/4x + 18/4
---
y = 1/2x + 9/2
y = 1/2x + 9/2
---
the two equations are equal
they have an infinite number of solutions
they do not have a unique point of intersection
