Q:

What is the solution?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Infinite amount of solutions.General Formulas and Concepts:Pre-AlgebraOrder of Operations: BPEMDASEquality PropertiesAlgebra ISolving systems of equations using substitution/eliminationStep-by-step explanation:Step 1: Define systemsy = -3x - 24y = -12x - 8Step 2: Solve for xSubstitute in y:                              4(-3x - 2) = -12x - 8Distribute 4:                                   -12x - 8 = -12x - 8Add 8 to both sides:                     -12x = -12xDivide both sides by -12:              x = xHere we see that x does indeed equal to x. Therefore, x can be any value.∴ The systems of equations have infinite amount of solutions.
