Answer:

The system has infinite number of solutions as both equations are equation of same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

A) [tex]-4x+6y=-20[/tex]

B) [tex]2x-3y=10[/tex]

Naming the first equation as A and 2nd as B.

Using elimination method to solve.

In order to eliminate [tex]x[/tex] we need to multiply such a number to equation B which when added to A eliminates [tex]x[/tex]

Multiplying equation B with 2.

[tex]2(2x-3y)=2\times 10[/tex]

[tex](2\times2x)-(2\times3y)=20[/tex]     [Using distribution.]

[tex]4x-6y=20[/tex]

Now adding the above equation with A i.e [[tex]A+2B[/tex]]

    (A) [tex]-4x+6y=-20[/tex]

+ (2B) [tex]4x-6y=20[/tex]

On adding we get [tex]0=0[/tex]

This means the system has infinite number of solutions as the two equations are equations of same line.
