This system of equations has one solution. By adding the two equations together, we eliminate the y terms:
(8x - 6y) + (8x + 6y) = 48 + 48
16x = 96
Dividing both sides of the equation by 16, we get:
x = 6
Substituting this value of x into one of the equations, we can solve for y:
8x - 6y = 48
8(6) - 6y = 48
48 - 6y = 48
-6y = 0
y = 0
Therefore, x = 6 and y = 0, giving us the solution (6, 0).
How many solutions does the system of equations have?
8x - 6y = 48
8x + 6y = 48 (1 point)
