Two Solutions. One solution for each variable.

This is because the equations are linear.

And linear solutions have only one solution for each variable.

Total makes #2# .

Hint: The highest power of a variable in an equation give you the number of solutions for that particular variable!

EXAMPLE:
How many solutions does this equation have? #y^2 + x^2 = x^3#
#x + y = 5#

Comment the anwser and i'll correct if it's wrong.
