x−y=8
2x−2y=16
To solve this system of equations, let's first look at the given equations:
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Let's simplify the second equation. We can divide the entire equation by 2:
This simplifies to:
We can see now that both equations are identical:
1.
2.
Since both equations represent the same line, every point that is a solution to the first equation is also a solution to the second equation. This means that there are infinitely many solutions, as every point on the line is a solution.
Therefore, the system of equations has infinite solutions.
