Q:

etermine whether the system of linear equations has one and only one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. 3 2 x − 2y = 4 x + 1 3 y = 2 one and only one solution infinitely many solutions no solution Find the solution, if one exists. (If there are infinitely many solutions, express x and y in terms of the parameter t. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) (x, y) =

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:(32/15, -2/5) Step-by-step explanation:(1) ³/₂x   -    2y =  4 (2)   x  +    ⅓y =  2 (3)  3x   -     4y =  8              Multiplied (1) by 2 (4)  3x  +       y =  6              Multiplied (2) by 3                   5y = -2              Subtracted (3) from (4) (5)                 y = -⅖             Divided each side by 5        x + ⅓(-⅖) =  2              Substituted (5) into (2)        x  -  ²/₁₅    =  2        x              =  2 + ²/₁₅     Added ²/₁₅ to each side       x              = 32/15 The system of equations has only one solution: (32/15, -2/5).
