I believe this is D) No solution, but just to clarify, what does answer A say exactly?

Are you learning linear algebra?

it is (0,-3/2) i believe) and this is a review

anonymous · Answer

Well you set up with all the x and y on the left hand side. Set it up as a matrix and then split it up until a 2x2 matrix and a 2x1 vector with the variable x and y. Row reduce echelon form and then solve for x and y. If there is a free variable then there is an infinite number of solution and if there is a conflict of values then there is no solution.

I am sticking with D because A only works for one of them
