Which values for A and B will create many solutions for this system of equations? 4x-Ay=15 -4x+6y=B

A = 6; B = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

To have an infinite number of solutions, both equations must be the same.

4x - Ay = 15

-4x + 6y = B

The only coefficient we see in both equations is the coefficient of the x term. We have -4x and 4x. Multiply both sides of the second equation by -1.

4x - Ay = 15

4x - 6y = -B

For the equation to be equal, we need each term of one equation to be equal to the corresponding term of the other equation.

4x and 4x are equal.

-Ay must equal -6y

-Ay = -6y

-A = -6

A = 6

15 must equal -B

-B = 15

B = -15

A = 6; B = -15

step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
