D. Infinite number of solutions



Answer :

### Solution Process

Let's match each system of equations to the corresponding solution:

1. System of Equations:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} 3x + y = 3 \\ -3x - 4y = 6 \\ \end{cases} \][/tex]

Solution:
The solution for this system is [tex]\((2, -3)\)[/tex].

- [tex]\(3(2) + (-3) = 6 - 3 = 3\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(-3(2) - 4(-3) = -6 + 12 = 6\)[/tex]

2. System of Equations:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} 4x + 12y = -8 \\ 5x + 15y = -10 \\ \end{cases} \][/tex]

Solution:
This system has an infinite number of solutions because the second equation is a multiple of the first:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} 4x + 12y = -8 \\ \frac{5}{4} (4x + 12y) = \frac{5}{4} (-8) \\ \end{cases} \][/tex]
Both equations describe the same line, so every solution to the first equation is also a solution to the second equation.

3. System of Equations:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} 4x - 3y = -1 \\ 2x + 3y = -5 \\ \end{cases} \][/tex]

Solution:
The solution to this system is [tex]\((-1, -1)\)[/tex].

- [tex]\(4(-1) - 3(-1) = -4 + 3 = -1\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(2(-1) + 3(-1) = -2 - 3 = -5\)[/tex]

4. System of Equation:
[tex]\[ 4x + 8y = -12 \][/tex]

Solution:
This equation has an infinite number of solutions, as it can be rearranged to form a relationship between [tex]\(x\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 4x + 8y = -12 \implies x + 2y = -3 \][/tex]

These types of systems with a single linear equation have infinitely many solutions.
