How many solutions does y = (5/2)x + 2 and 2y = 5x + 4 have?
Added by Sebastian C.
Step 1
Now we have two equations: 2y=5x-6 and 2y=5x+4. We can set these two equations equal to each other and solve for x: 5x-6=5x+4 -6=4 This is a contradiction, so there are no solutions for x that satisfy both equations. Show more…

Solve each system by substitution. If a system has no solution or infinitely many solutions, so state. $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} {5 y+2=-4 x} \\ {x+2 y=-2} \end{array}\right. $$
