Q. How many solutions does the system have?{x+y=35x+5y=15Choose 1 answer:(A) Exactly one solution(B) No solutions(C) Infinitely many solutions
Analyze the system: Analyze the given system of equations.We have the system:x+y=3 ...(1)5x+5y=15 ...(2)Let's simplify equation (2) by dividing all terms by 5.
Simplify the second equation: Simplify the second equation.Dividing equation (2) by 5 gives us:(5x+5y)/5=15/5x+y=3...(3)Now we have two equations that are identical:x+y=3...(1)x+y=3...(3)
Determine the number of solutions: Determine the number of solutions.Since both equations are identical, every solution to equation 1 is also a solution to equation 3. This means that the system of equations has infinitely many solutions.
