Solve the system of equations:

\[
2x - y = 4
\]

\[
5x - 2.5y = 10
\]

Asked by Lmedina718

Answer (2)

2x-y=4
Therefore: y=2x-4

5x-10/4(2x-4)=10
5x-5/2(2x-4)=10
5x-5x+10=10
10=10

*Problem can't be solved.

The system of equations has infinitely many solutions as both equations represent the same line. Any point on the line defined by y = 2 x − 4 is a solution. For instance, points like ( 5 , 6 ) and ( 0 , − 4 ) satisfy both equations.
