which choice is a solution to the system of equations below? 3y=9x+12 3x=y-4 A.infinitely many B.(3,1) C.(-3,1) D.(3,-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide the first equation by 3, get \[y=3x+4\] second equation is \[3x=y+4\] or \[y=3x+4\] evidently they are exactly the same line, just written differently

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not the same, just parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo there, second equation is \[3x=y-4\] or \[y=3x+4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i made a typo answer is correct though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both lines can be written as \(y=3x-4\) so they are the same line, and so there are infinitely many solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ups, you right. My misstake
