Determine the number of solutions to this system of linear equations:
2x + y = 6
4x + 2y = 8 (1 point)
2
0
infinite
1
1 answer
In this case, the second equation is simply a multiple of the first equation. Therefore, these two equations are not independent and represent the same line in the coordinate plane. This means they are parallel and have no intersections, indicating there are no solutions to this system of linear equations. Hence, the correct answer is 0.
