Im so lost!! How many solutions does the system have? 12y=-3x+20 y=-1/4x+5/3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply second equation wid 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12y=-12/4+60/3?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, simplify the right side fractions. and who ate x ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

12y=-12/4\(\color{red}{x}\)+60/3 x is there right ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12y=-3x+20

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, compare it wid the first equation. do u see any difference between the two equations ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no difference so one solution?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, no difference = INFINITE solutions

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

two equations are same, means, both equations are overlapping lines. so there will be INFINITE common points.
