OpenStudy (rational):

divide each side of first equation by 3 what do u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 ??> I think it will be NONE ? Correct because there is NO SOLUTION

OpenStudy (rational):

look at first equation 3x = -12y + 15 divide 3 through out x = -4y + 5 rearranging gives x+4y = 5 which is same as the second equaiton, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry typed the wrong thing ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't x+4y=5 equal

OpenStudy (rational):

since both the equations are same, there will be INFINITELY MANY solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the correct answer : is C

OpenStudy (rational):
