What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

2x − y = 6
4x − 2y = 12

0

4

x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to the system.

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

2x − y = 6
4x − 2y = 12

Multiply the firrst equation by 2 
what do you get?

12

diyadiya · Answer

2(2x-y=6)
2(2x) - 2(y) =2(6)
4x - 2y =12

Now you can see that the two equations are identical.Thus when 2 equations are identical  then there is  infinitely many solutions
