Q:

Two lines, A and B, are represented by the following equations:Line A: 4x + 4y = 16Line B: x + y = 4Which statement is true about the solution to the set of equations? (4 points)It is (1, 2).There are infinitely many solutions.It is (1, 5).There is no solution.

Accepted Solution

A:
The correct answer is:  [B]:
___________________________________________________
    "There are infinitely many solutions."
___________________________________________________
   (e.g. (0, 4), (1, 3), (-1, 5), (-2, 6), (-3, 7), (2, 2), (3, 1) ...
___________________________________________________
Note:
____________________________________________________
If we take the "first equation"; which is:

    " 4x + 4y = 16 " ; 

And divide "EACH SIDE of the equation by "4" ; 


   {4x + 4y) / 4 = 16 / 4 ; 


→ 4x/4  + 4y /4 = 4 ; 

→  x + y = 4 ; 

which is the same as the "second equation" given:

→ x + y = 4 .
