Question

Lines A and B are represented by the equations given below:

Line A: x + y = 5
Line B: x + y = 4

Which statement is true about the solution to the set of equations?

Answer 1

A. It is (5, 4).
B. It is (4, 5).
C. There is no solution.
D. There are infinitely many solutions.

Answer 2

Can I please get an explanation on how to solve this as well?

Answer 3

What do you think the answer is and why?
:-)

Answer 4

I'm not quite sure, my teacher has never gone over this that is why I'm here, do you think you could give an example and how to solve it? If I at least know how to solve this one I can post what i think my answer is.

Answer 5

Replace x + y in the first equation by x + y from the second equation and tell me what you get.

Answer 6

I think C, if not then D

Answer 7

I don't see how it could be a or b seeing as It is two separate lines

Answer 8

Does 5 equal 4?

Answer 9

Nope

Answer 10

x + y = 5 = x + y = 4

Answer 11

A then?

Answer 12

Nope.

Answer 13

I still stand with C since they are both separate lines with no actual numbers in their equation other than the solution.

Answer 14

You are correct by standing with C.

Answer 15

They are parallel lines.

Answer 16

Thank you for the help

Answer 17

Thanks for asking :-)
