Question

Consider the following set of equations:

Equation R: −3y = −3x – 9
Equation S: y = x + 3

Which of the following best describes the solution to the given set of equations?

No solution
One solution
Infinite solutions
Two solutions

Answer 1

just take -3 common from both sides in the first eqn and see..

Answer 2

\[-3(x+3)=-3x-9\]

Answer 3

what do you get when you solve that?

Answer 4

-3x + -9 = -3x - 9?

Answer 5

right now what do you get when you solve that?

Answer 6

yeah actually both the equations are same..

Answer 7

^^

Answer 8

the equations are the same

Answer 9

so you are bound to get 0=0 right? so whats the answer?

Answer 10

no solution?

Answer 11

no that would be 0=1

Answer 12

indefinite?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

see if this helps next time :)
