Determine the number of solutions for the system of equations. 2x + 8y = 6 -12x - 48y = -36 A. No Solutions B. One Solution C. Exactly 2 solutions D. Infinite number of solutions

OpenStudy (mrnood):

Multiply the first equation by -6 see what you get...

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Hint: multiply the first eqn by 6

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@AaronAndyson it's -6, not 6

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

2x + 8y = 6 2x*-6 + 8y*-6 = 6*-6

both eq is same that is parallel line so infinite solution

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

@MrNood i HAD TYPOS.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I had typos**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D??

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Yes!
