The system of equations has one solution.
solve it in numbers
To solve the system of equations:
−5x + y = −18
10x − 2y = 36
We can use the method of substitution.
First, solve the first equation for y in terms of x:
y = 5x - 18
Substitute this value of y into the second equation and solve for x:
10x - 2(5x - 18) = 36
10x - 10x + 36 = 36
36 = 36
Since the equation 36 = 36 is always true, this means that there are infinitely many solutions.
