Solving system of linear equations

From the question, we are to determine the number of solutions the given linear equation has

The given system of equations is

y = 2/3x+ 2    ---------- (1)

6x - 4y = -10   ---------- (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

6x - 4y = -10

6x - 4(2/3x +2) = -10  

6x - 8/3x -8 = -10

6x - 8/3x  = -10 + 8

10x/3 = -2

10x = -2 × 3

10x = -6

x = -6/10

x = -0.6

Substitute the value of x into equation (1)

y = 2/3(-0.6)+ 2

y = -0.4 + 2

y = 1.6

The solution to the given system of equation is x = -0.6, y = 1.6. That is, (-0.6, 1.6)

Hence, the given linear equation has one solution: (-0.6, 1.6). The correct option is the second option  one solution: (-0.6, 1.6)
