Solve the system of equations: x-2y= -2 3x - 6y= -6

sam (.sam.):

x=92.572 y=47.286

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Infinitely many solutions as you have same equations. Multiply first one by three, you get: 3x - 6y = -6 Same as second one.

Directrix (directrix):

Two ways to write the same equation. A line has infinitely points and therefore infinitely many solutions as it intersects itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would the answer be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Infinitely many solutions as you have same equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Infinitely many solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wants me to solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can't.

Directrix (directrix):

The graph appears to show only one line. Actually, it's the same line drawn twice. These "two" lines, really being the same line, "intersect" at every point along their length. This is called a "dependent" system, and the "solution" is the whole line. The intersection is a line.

OpenStudy (precal):

.Sam is incorrect, everyone else who responded is correct
