Question 43953: Tell whether the systems of equations have only one ordered pair as a solution or not. Also exlpain your answer by telling whether the graphs of the equations are parrallel lines, intersecting lines, or the same line.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If we subtract these equations
x + 2y = 3
x + 2y = 6
you get
0 = -3
We ask, "When does 0 = -3?"
The answer is never. Thus, this system has no solution and the lines are parallel, an inconsistent system...
