what is the number of solutions to this system of linear equations:
2x + y = 6 and 4x + 2y = 8
A. 1
B. 0
C. 2
D. infinite
3 answers
The second equation is twice the first equation, so they are actually equivalent. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations. The answer is D.
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
Sorry, but twice the first equation is
4x+2y = 12
so in fact, the lines are parallel, and there are no solutions.

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct that the second equation should be 4x + 2y = 12, and the two equations represent parallel lines. Therefore, there are no solutions to this system of linear equations. The correct answer is B.
