medal and fan!!!! A set of equations is given below: Equation C: y = 2x + 6 Equation D: y = 2x + 2 Which of the following best describes the solution to the given set of equations? One solution Two solutions No solution Infinitely many solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

replace y with 2x+6 in the second equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+6=2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to solve that for x can you teach me really quick with like an example or something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you want to get x by itself on one side of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this example it isn't possible because x cancels

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, wow im really bad at math.!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would x cancel dont you just add them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1430954473938:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To move the x's to one side of the equation you need to move one of the 2x's to the other side of the equation. To do that you need to subtract 2x from both sides which will cancel all the x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if there is no x, then there aren't any solutions
