Question

Two systems of equations are given below. For each system, choose the best description of its solution. If applicable, give the solution. -x - 2y = 8 The system has no solution. The system has a unique solution: The system has infinitely many solutions. They must satisfy the following equation: y = x + 5y = 5 -x - 5y = -5 The system has no solution. The system has a unique solution: The system has infinitely many solutions. They must satisfy the following equation:

Explanation / Answer

Dear Student Thank you for using Chegg !! Equation 1 -x - 2y = 8 Equation 2 x + 2y = 8 General equation ax + by = c Comparing Coefficient a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 = c1/c2 (If all coeffiecients equal then infinite solution If all coefficient ratios different, then unique solution a1/a2 = b1/b2 Not equal c1/c2 => No Solution For given set of equations a1/a2 b1/b2 c1/c2 -1/1 -2/2 8/8 => No Solution b) x + 5y = 5 -x - 5y = -5 a1/a2 b1/b2 c1/c2 1/-1 5/-5 5/-5 => Infinitely many solution Solution
