Question
Use Substitution to solve each system of equations :
X + 2Y = -10
Y = -0.5X + 2
Hint:
find x by substituting y (in terms of x) in the equation and find y by substituting the value of x in the equations .If we get an true statement we say they have infinite solutions .If we get the false statement we say they have no solution.
The correct answer is: They have no solution for the given system of equations.
Ans :-no solution.
Explanation :-
y = -0.5x + 2 — eq 1
x + 2y = -10 —- eq 2
Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = -0.5x + 2 in eq 2.
x + 2 (-0.5x + 2 )= -10 ⇒ x - x + 4 = -10
4 = -10
Here we get 4 = -10 which is always false i.e solutions do not exist
They are parallel with each other and have no solutions
They have no solution for the given system of equations.
