Please! Determine which system below will produce infinitely many solutions.

A. -4x + 6y = 20
4x - 3y = -2
B. -2x + 4y = 18
4x - 8y = -36
C. 3x - 2y = 5
-6x - 4y = -10
D. 5x - 3y = 12
15x - 9y = 24



Answer :

"−2x + 4y = 18

4x − 8y = −36"

I just took the test.


(B) -2x+4y=18 and 4x-8y=-36 has infinitely many solutions.

What is Solution of Equations?

The values of variables which satisfy the system of equations togetherly.

If two equations are ax+by=c and dx+ey=f then it has infinitely many solutions if [tex]\frac{a}{d}=\frac{b}{e}=\frac{c}{f}[/tex].

Option (A):

a/d = -4/4 = -1

b/e = 6/-3 = -2

Since [tex]\frac{a}{d}\ne\frac{b}{e}[/tex] so it cannot be choice.

Option (B):

a/d = -2/4 = -1/2

b/e = 4/-8 = -1/2

c/f = 18/-36 = -1/2

so it is the correct choice.

Option (C):

a/d = 3/-6 = -1/2

b/e = -2/-4 = 1/2

So it is not the choice.

Option (D):

a/d = 5/15 = 1/3

b/e = -3/-9 = 1/3

c/f = 12/24 = 1/2

So it is also cannot be choice.

Hence the correct choice which have an infinitely many solution is (B) -2x+4y=18; 4x-8y=-36.
