What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x-6y=-12 " " x-2y=10 Use the substitution method to justify that the given system of equations has no solution. What do you know about the two lines in this system of equations?

Respuesta :

The two lines in this system of equations are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the relation between 2 lines

  • If the system of linear equations has one solution, then the two line are intersected
  • If the system of linear equations has no solution, then the two line are parallel
  • If the system of linear equations has many solutions, then the two line are coincide (over each other)

∵ The system of equation is

3x - 6y = -12 ⇒ (1)

x - 2y = 10 ⇒ (2)

To solve the system using the substitution method, find x in terms of y in equation (2)

∵ x - 2y = 10

- Add 2y to both sides

x = 2y + 10 ⇒ (3)

Substitute x in equation (1) by equation (3)

3(2y + 10) - 6y = -12

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 6y + 30 - 6y = -12

- Add like terms in the left hand side

30 = -12

The left hand side ≠ the right hand side

∴ There is no solution for the system of equations

∴ The system of equations represents two parallel lines

Answer:

A.

x-2y=-8

x=-8+2y  

3(-8+2y)-6y=-12

-24+6y-6y=-12

-24=-12

Therefore, because -24 is not equal to -12, there is no solution.

B.

The system of equations is parallel because they have no solution.
