Sagot :

A system of equation may have one, zero or infinitely many solutions

The system of equation has no solutions

The systems of equation are given as:

[tex]y = -6x - 5[/tex]

[tex]-2y +7 = 12x[/tex]

Substitute -6x - 5 for y in [tex]-2y +7 = 12x[/tex]

[tex]-2(-6x - 5) +7 = 12x[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]12x + 10 +7 = 12x[/tex]

[tex]12x + 17 = 12x[/tex]

Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation

[tex]17 = 0[/tex]

The above equation is not true i.e.[tex]17 \ne 0[/tex]

Hence, the system of equation has no solutions
