How did you get it?

OpenStudy (briensmarandache):

there is only one variable and they are set equal to each other, thus, there could only be one value for the variable. given that is exist of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my handwriting is so bad

OpenStudy (briensmarandache):

do you see how im doing it. generally a line set to another line will produce one solution if they are different, but if they are parable there is no solution,. if its the same line, there is an infinite number of solutions

OpenStudy (briensmarandache):

i can fix my handwriting if you need?
