idk can you explain it

jdoe0001 · Answer

solve each for "y"
what do they give you?

anonymous · Answer

both

jdoe0001 · Answer

hmmm are you supposed to "solve" it or just to find how many solutions it has?

anonymous · Answer

how many solution

jdoe0001 · Answer

so... solve each for "y"
let's see what you get first then :)

then we can see their "slope" and their slopes will tell us how many solutions

same slope, no solution
difference slopes, one solution
same slope and same y-intercept, infinite solutions

anonymous · Answer

the answer is B because that equation ends up being the same number as it is.:):)
ithink

check your PM

jdoe0001 · Answer

the equation ends up what?   hmmm

anyhow, solve for "y" on both first
