OpenStudy (precal):

systems have one solution, if they cross|dw:1345754309529:dw|

OpenStudy (precal):

systems have no solution if they do not cross|dw:1345754330872:dw|

OpenStudy (precal):

systems have infinitely many solutions if both lines are the same, since they cross in so many places

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1345754370433:dw| pretend the other line is a straight line over the same line
