The system shown has ____ solution(s) Y=1/2x+1 2y-x=2 A) no B) one C) infinite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are the lines different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is, do they have different slopes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We don't need a graph. Try solving for y for the bottom equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the whole question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Solving y implies that we have y on one side of the equal sign. Just like the top equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To solve for y, we first add x to both sides of the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its the first answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, we get 2y = x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do you think its A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk..... Im just really desperate for the answer.... Its a matter of graduating right now for me....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK. its not A its C since they are the same exact line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you, will you help me with some more... I have two assignments that i dont know anything about:/
