Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the correct statements about the systems of equations, let's analyze both sets:
First System
-
Simplify the second equation:
-
The system becomes:
Here, the slopes () are the same, but the -intercepts are different ( and ). Therefore, these two lines are parallel and never intersect.
Conclusion: This system has zero solutions.
Correct Statement:
"Zero Solutions: is equal to two different expressions."
Second System
-
Compare the equations:
-
The slopes are different ( and ), so the lines intersect at exactly one point.
Conclusion: This system has one solution.
Correct Statement:
"One Solution: has one solution."
Final Answers
- First System: Zero Solutions: is equal to two different expressions.
- Second System: One Solution: has one solution.
