Solve the system by graphing, addition and substitution methods.
4x – 4y = –8 .....1
y = 2 + x ................2
PUTTING 2 IN EQN.1
4X-4(2+X)=-8
4X-8-4X=-8
0=0
HENCE THE EQNS. ARE DEPENDENT/ CONSISTENT.SO THERE WILL BE INFINITE SOLUTIONS..SAY
X=0... Y=2...OR
X=1..Y=3..OR
X=2..Y=4..ETC..IN FACT
X,X+2.WITH ANY VALUE FOR X IS A SOLUTION SET.
X....................0.................1......................2...ETC
Y=2+X................2..................3......................4...ETC
Y=(4X+8)/4...........2..................3.....................4....ETC

THE 2 GRAPHS ARE IDENTICAL OR COINCIDENT.SO INFINITE SOLUTIONS ,WITH ANY POINT ON THE GRAPH BEING A SOLUTION.
