Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the systems of equations given in the image and solve them step by step.
System A:
Equations:
Add the two equations:
Since the result is a contradiction (), System A has no solution. This means the lines are parallel and do not intersect.
System B:
Equations:
Add the two equations:
This is a consistent equation. Let’s simplify both equations to check if they represent the same line:
- Rewrite as .
- Rewrite as .
Both equations simplify to , meaning they represent the same line.
Thus, System B has infinitely many solutions, and the solutions must satisfy the equation:
Final Answers:
- System A: The system has no solution.
- System B: The system has infinitely many solutions, and the solutions must satisfy .
