Solve the following system of equations: 3x - 2y = 6, 6x - 4y = 12.
Solution:
Given, the system of equations
3x - 2y = 6 --- (1)
6x - 4y = 12 --- (2)
We have to solve the system of equations.
Dividing (2) by 2,
3x - 2y = 6 which is same as equation (1)
Thus, the system will have many infinite solutions.
For a system of equation having infinite solution following condition holds:
\(\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\)
Here, a1 = 3, b1 = -2, c1 = 6
a2 = 6, b2 = -4, c2 = 12
Now, \(\\\frac{3}{6}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{6}{12}\\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
Therefore, \(\\\frac{3}{6}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}\)
Solve the following system of equations: 3x - 2y = 6, 6x - 4y = 12.
Summary:
The system of equations: 3x - 2y = 6, 6x - 4y = 12 will have many infinite solutions.
