solve the system by the substitution method 12x-10y=4 6x=5y+2

OpenStudy (radar):

This is an identity, both equations are the same, there is no specific solution, infinite solutions.

OpenStudy (radar):

Do you see that the two equations are the same?

OpenStudy (radar):

Take the first equation and divide all terms by 2 getting: 6x-5y=2 Now isolate the x variable on the left. 6x=5y+2 same as the second equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you say that there are infinitely many solutions or empty set solution

OpenStudy (radar):

There are an infinite number of solutions as you actually have one equation, only one line. Examples of solutions x=2, y=2 or x=0, y=-2/5 and so on and on and on
