Question 1069276
If the system 3x+5=13 and ax+by=39 has more than one solution, determine the sum of a and b 
---------
Both are linear equations, their graphs are straight lines.
If the graphs are parallel, there is no intersection, no solution.
If they are not parallel, there is 1 intersection, 1 solution.
----
Only if they're dependent, ie, the same line twice, can there be > 1 solution.
==========
3x+5=13 and ax+by=39
----------
39/13 = 3
--> 3 times 3x+5y=13  (I think you meant 5y)
9x + 15y = 39
a+b = 24
