Question 621498: use substitution to solve each system of equations. if the system of equation does not have exactly one solution, state whether it has no solution or infinitely many solutions.
x=3-2y
2x+4y=6 Answer by math-vortex(648) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, there--
.
Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
.
Substitute 3-2y for x in the second equation.
.
.
Simplify by clearing the parentheses.
.
Combine like terms. Notice that -4y+4y=0, so we are left with 6=6.
When this happens, it means that the two equations in your system are actually equivalent. The graph of both equations is the same line.
.
In this case, every point on the line is a solution to the system; we say that there are infinitely many solutions.
.
Hope this helps! Feel free to email if you have questions about this.
