2x+y=3
x+2y=6
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Starting with the first equation , we solve for by isolating it:
Subtract from both sides:
Multiply both sides by 2 to solve for :
Step 2: Substitute into the second equation :
Simplify:
Step 3: The equation is always true, indicating there is no contradiction and hence infinitely many solutions when both conditions arise from manipulating consistent equations.
Step 4: Since manipulating these equations leads us to an identity, they are dependent; both equations are forms of the same linear equation . Each point on this line satisfies both equations, confirming infinite solutions.
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is infinite solutions.
