how many solutions does the system of equations have? y=4x+3 and y=4x+4

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we can apply the elimination method for example

OpenStudy (raiders88):

is it 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both these equations have the same slope (4), which means they're parallel. How many times to parallel lines intersect?

OpenStudy (raiders88):

1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 → these lines don't touch

OpenStudy (raiders88):

so none is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the system has no solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (raiders88):

thx peachpi i owe u one

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
