Question

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

4x + 8y = 8
 x + 2y = 2


Choose one answer. 

  a. zero    
  b. 2    
  c. There is no x value as there is no solution to this system    
  d. x can be any value as there are infinitely many solutions to this system

anonymous · Answer

d. x can be any value as there are infinitely many solutions to this system$$4x+8y=8\x+2y=2$$multiple the second raw by -4 then we got$$4x+8y=8\-4x-8y=-8$$add the second raw to the first one$$0=0\-4x-8y=-8$$therefore we got a function with infinitely solutions.
