How many solutions will this system of equations have? y = 3.5x - 3.5 y = -3.5x + 3.5 No solution Infinite solutions One solution Two solutions

Try Graphing them

Usually where a system of equations intersect is a solution

OpenStudy (crashonce):

notice how the gradients are the same except one is engative

Im confused on this entire question.. I dont really remember how to graph.. :/ .. can you walk me through with the Answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it be 2 solutions

OpenStudy (crashonce):

this hints that both lines will be even along either side of the axis as in the graph shown

OpenStudy (crashonce):

that means there will only be one solution

OpenStudy (crashonce):

GENERALLY LINES WITH DIFFERENT GRADIENTS ONLY HAVE ONE SOLUTION

OpenStudy (crashonce):

Thats almost a rule

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Ive already told you... Giving Direct Answers is Against the Openstudy's Code of Conduct. Ive already Graphed it for you just look at the graph and tell me how many solutions does it have?

OpenStudy (crashonce):

i didnt give direct answers, i provided an explanation of the 'rule' which is generally excepted for linear intersections

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Not u

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Hes asking for the answer

OpenStudy (crashonce):

right soz

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

First Of all... Look at the Graph tell e what you see

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

*me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set them equal to eachother. 3.5x-3.5 = -3.5x+3.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm I got it right. Thanks :)
