What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?
3x + y = 6
6x + 2y = 8
zero
4
x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to the system.
There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

the equations(1) times 2.....you will know how to choice options
OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
please help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve for x in any of the two equations then what you get apply it to the other equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=6-3x

6x+2(6-3x)=8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you plus 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6x+12-6x=8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh

and then?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you are left with 12=8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats not an answer though
OpenStudy (anonymous):
read your answers and see the end result.

is it There is no x value as there is no solution to the system?

oh
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
parallel lines
OpenStudy (ikram002p):
@UnkleRhaukus check last number after = they are not parallel but mm
they are confusing the solution lol
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
3x + y = 6 (i)
y = -3x + 6
slope is -3, y intercept is 6
6x + 2y = 8 (ii)
2y = -6x + 8
y = -3x + 4
slope is -3, y intercept is 4
straight lines with the same slope but different y intercept
are parallel. There is no point that can appear on both lines.
