How many solutions does this linear system have? y = 2x – 5 –8x – 4y = –20

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations  have

1.unique solution if

2. infinite solutions if

3. no solution if

We can write equations: as follows:

On comparing these equations with standard equations , we get

such that

Here,
