Determine the number of solutions to the system of linear equations(0,1 infinity)

Y= 7X +8
-7x+y=-8

1 answer

This system of linear equations has exactly 1 solution.

To solve the system, we can substitute the value of y from the first equation into the second equation:

-7x + 7x + 8 = -8
8 = -8

This equation is obviously false, which means that the system of equations is inconsistent and has no solution.
