Soe using the eliminatin method.Show work.State if it has infinite solutions or no solutions...-15r+12s=24,30r-24s=48

1 answer

multiply first equation by 2
-30r+24s=48
+30r-24s=48
hmm, if I add those, I get 0 = 96. a problem all right
try multiplying the second one by -1 then look
-30r+24s=48
-30r+24s=-48

that is two parallel lines with the same slope but they never cross (different intercepts). There are no solutions.
