3)y=3x-2 2x+3y=16

1 answer

Let's solve the given systems of equations one by one:

  1. System:
    \( 2x - 2y = -4 \)
    \( y = x + 2 \)

    First, we can rearrange the first equation: \[ 2x - 2y = -4 \implies 2y = 2x + 4 \implies y = x + 2 \] This shows that both equations are actually the same line, meaning there are infinitely many solutions (the lines coincide).

  2. System:
    \( y = -2x - 7 \)
    \( y = -2x + 3 \)

    Since both equations have the same slope (-2), we can see that they are parallel but have different y-intercepts. Therefore, they do not intersect at any point, which means there are no solutions.

  3. System:
    \( y = 3x - 2 \)
    \( 2x + 3y = 16 \)

    Let's substitute \( y \) from the first equation into the second: \[ 2x + 3(3x - 2) = 16 \implies 2x + 9x - 6 = 16 \implies 11x - 6 = 16 \implies 11x = 22 \implies x = 2 \] Then substitute \( x \) back into the first equation to find \( y \): \[ y = 3(2) - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4 \] The solution is \( (2, 4) \), which means there is exactly one solution.

Now summarizing the number of solutions for each system:

  1. Infinitely many solutions
  2. No solutions
  3. One solution

Final Matches:

    1. Infinitely many solutions
    1. No solutions
    1. One solution
