D) 1
There is only one solution to this system of equations, as the two equations are the same except for the sign of the y term. When added together, the y terms cancel out, leaving only 16x = 96 which simplifies to x = 6. Substituting this value back into either equation gives y = 0. Therefore, there is one solution to this system of equations.
How many solutions does the system of equations have?
8x - 6y = 48
8x + 6y = 48
A) 2
B) 0
C) infinite
