Describe the solution of a system of equations if after you added two equations the result was 0 =
0.
If the result is a true statement such as 0 = 0, then there would be an infinite number of solutions. A system that has
an infinite number of solutions is consistent and dependent. The two equations represent the same line.
For example, 2x + 5y = 4 and -2x - 5y = -4 when added together give you 0 = 0 as both variables are
eliminated. This system would have infinitely many solutions. When you write each equation in slope-intercept
-intercept form, the equations
represent the same line.
What is the solution of a system of equations if the sum of the equations is 0 = 2?
The result of the statement is false, so there is no solution. This system of equations is inconsistent. The equations in
an inconsistent system represent parallel lines.
For example, the sum of equations 2x + y = 5 and -2x - y = 3 is 0 = 2. When the lines are written in slope-intercept
form, you get y = -2x + 5 and y = -2x + 3. Each of the lines has a slope of -2. Since the lines have the same slopes
but different y-intercepts, they are parallel. Parallel lines do not intersect and have no points in common. So, there is

Solve the first equation for x since its coefficient is 1.
Substitute 1 - 4y for x in the second equation to find the value of y .
Now, substitute 1 for y in either equation to find the value of x.
The solution is ( 3, 1). Therefore, the correct choice is B.
Use substitution to solve each system of equations. If the system does not have exactly one solution,
state whether it has no solution or infinitely many solutions.

Gregorio and Javier each want to buy a bicycle. Gregorio has already saved $35 and
plans to save $10 per week. Javier has $26 and plans to save $13 per week.
In how many weeks will Gregorio and Javier have saved the same amount of money?
How much will each person have saved at that time?

a. Let w represent the number of weeks and t represent the total savings. So the two equations are:
Gregario: y = 35 + 10w
Javier: y = 26 + 13w

Gregorio and Javier each want to buy a bicycle. Gregorio has already saved $35 and
plans to save $10 per week. Javier has $26 and plans to save $13 per week.
In how many weeks will Gregorio and Javier have saved the same amount of money?
How much will each person have saved at that time?
a. Let w represent the number of weeks and t represent the total savings. So the two equations are:
Gregario: y = 35 + 10w
Javier: y = 26 + 13w
Substitute 35 + 10w for t in the second equation to find the value of w.
So, They will have the same amount of money saved in 3 weeks.
b. Substitute 3 for w in either equation.
Therefore, Gregorio and Javier will each have saved $65.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel. Determine whether ABCD
is parallelogram. Explain your reasoning.
Use the equations of the lines to find the slopes of the sides of the parallelogram.
lies on the vertical line described by x = 4, so its slope is undefined.
lies on the vertical line described by x = 3, so its slope is undefined.
lies on the line described by
, so it has a slope of .
lies on the line described by
, so it has a slope of .
Since each pair of opposite sides has the same slope, the opposite sides are parallel.
A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel is a parallelogram.
Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.
