Q. Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions, infinitely many solutions or exactly one solution.−5x+3y5x−3y=2=−5No SolutionsOne SolutionInfinitely Many Solutions
Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.−5x+3y=25x−3y=−5
Add Equations: Add the two equations together to see if they are consistent or inconsistent.(−5x+3y)+(5x−3y)=2+(−5)−5x+3y+5x−3y=−30=−3
Check Consistency: Since adding the left sides of the equations results in 0 and the right sides do not add up to 0, the equations are inconsistent.This means that there is no set of values for x and y that will satisfy both equations simultaneously.
Conclude No Solutions: Conclude that the system of equations has no solutions because the equations are inconsistent.
