How many solutions does this system of equations have? y = 5x – 4 y = 5x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i thought :P just want to make 100% sure

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

no solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

the two lines are parallel, so they never intersect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has two solutions because of x and y

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

even if it was x and y it would be one solution because it would become the ordered pair (x, y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so its 0?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

but y=mx+b when in a system of equations m=m then the two lines are parallel therefore 0 solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thx mate
