it is possible for a system of linear equations to have an infinite number of solutions?

OpenStudy (loser66):

yes, it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

That will only occur when the graph of the of the two system of equations is the same.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

For example: y=2x+4 2y=4x+8

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Similarly, if the two lines are parallel but shifted (y=2x and y=2x+1) then you get no solutions

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

If you can simplify one of the equations into the other then they are identical, and so they cross at every point along their line.
