y = 4x + 6 and y = 4x - 5 has how many solutions?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

4x+6=4x-5 6!=-5, no solutions

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

!= means not equal to lol.. that's what i use for not equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't -5 and answer though?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

no 6 is not equal to -5, so no solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The lines are parallel so there is no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. Thanks :-)

Yep, and if you don't feel like plotting it, set the equations equal to each other and solve. When you subtract the x-terms, it's zero and so you find that there's no solution.
