Solve the following system of linear equations by substitution: 3x+3y=5/2 3/2x+3/2y=5/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think y is a free variable. so you have an infinite number of solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply the 2nd eq-n by 2 and you will have 2 the same eq-ns

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are right but if you do this we have all the terms canceling and we get 0=0 which means there is a free variable...right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 2 lines becomes 1 and you will have infinite number of solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm...okay. Thank you.
