Let's solve each system of equations one by one.### Problem 7:We have the following system of equations:1.
2.
**Step 1: Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2**Since
, substitute this expression for
in Equation 2:
**Step 2: Simplify and Solve for
**
This simplifies to:
This equation is always true, which means that the two equations are dependent and represent the same line. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions along the line described by
.### Problem 8:We have the following system of equations:1.
2.
**Step 1: Simplify Equation 2**Notice that Equation 2 can be simplified by dividing all terms by 3:
This simplifies to:
**Step 2: Compare with Equation 1**Now we have:1.
2.
These two equations are inconsistent because they imply that the same linear combination of
and
equals two different numbers (7 and 8). Therefore, there is no solution to this system; the lines are parallel and do not intersect.In summary:- For Problem 7, there are infinitely many solutions.- For Problem 8, there is no solution.
