x − 2y = 24
3x − 6y = 72

No solution
Infinite solutions
One solution
Two solutions

Answer 1

second eq. is same except that it is multiplied by 3
so actually there is only one eq. and it has infinite solutions.

Answer 2

same

Answer 3

first is 3 times the second

Answer 4

So which one is it ?

Answer 5

Yes, that makes 3 people agreeing on that answer :-)

Answer 6

how many points are on a line

Answer 7

I'm lost please explain what you guys are talking about

Answer 8

The second equation, is just a constant multiple (3) times the first equation.. which makes it the same equation...

you have one line in 2 forms

one line has an infinite amount of solutions

Answer 9

So infinite is the answer ?

Answer 10

that would be the one

Answer 11
