Question

What is the solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Infinite amount of solutions.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Equality Properties

Algebra I

• Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

y = -3x - 2

4y = -12x - 8

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Substitute in y:                              4(-3x - 2) = -12x - 8
2. Distribute 4:                                   -12x - 8 = -12x - 8
3. Add 8 to both sides:                     -12x = -12x
4. Divide both sides by -12:              x = x

Here we see that x does indeed equal to x. Therefore, x can be any value.

∴ The systems of equations have infinite amount of solutions.
