To determine the number of solutions for the given system of equations, we can solve it using different methods.
First, let's solve the system of equations:
Equation 1: y = -2x + 12
Equation 2: 4y + x - 20 = 0
Substituting the value of y from Equation 1 into Equation 2:
4(-2x + 12) + x - 20 = 0
-8x + 48 + x - 20 = 0
-7x + 28 = 0
-7x = -28
x = 4
Substituting the value of x into Equation 1:
y = -2(4) + 12
y = -8 + 12
y = 4
So we have found the solution x = 4, y = 4.
Since the two equations intersect at a single point, the system of equations has one solution.
Therefore, the correct answer is: One solution.
