System of equations#2

Algebra Level 2

Consider the following system of equation:

{ 11 x 6 y = 5 4 x 6 y = 13 \large \begin{cases} 11x- 6y = 5\\ -4x-6y=13\\ \end{cases}

How many solutions does the system have?

2 3 Infinitely many solutions 1 No solution

{ 11 x 6 y = 5 4 x 6 y = 13 \large \begin{cases} 11x- 6y = 5\\ -4x-6y=13\\ \end{cases} In the above two equations of lines if we watch out the coefficients of given lines. Then it can be noted that 11 4 6 6 \begin{aligned} -\frac{11}{4}≠\frac{-6}{-6}\end{aligned} which implies that the pairs of lines are consistent and independent having only unique solution x = 8 15 x= - \frac{8}{15} and y = 83 60 y = - \frac{83}{60}

They are both linear equations that are not parallel when plotted on a graph. This means they only have 1 solution.
