To determine the number of solutions of the system, we need to check if the lines represented by the equations are parallel or coincident.
We can rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form:
12x - 15y = 18
-15y = -12x + 18
y = (12/15)x - (18/15)
y = (4/5)x - (6/5)
4x - 5y = 6
-5y = -4x + 6
y = (4/5)x - (6/5)
Since the two equations have the same slope of 4/5, the lines are parallel. Thus, the system has no solution.
How many solutions does the system have
12x-15y=18
4x-5y=6
