Question

How do you solve 3x + 4y = 24 and 6x + 8y = 24?

Answer 1

Innumerable number of solutions.

Explanation:

`3x+4y=24`
`6x+8y=24`

The above two equations are in the form

`ax+by=c`
This is a linear equation. Its slope is `m=-(a)/b`

Apply this formula in the above two equations.

`m=-3/4`

This is the slope of the two lines. The two lines coincide with one another..
Hence, the system of equations have innumerable number of solutions .
