![# Solving Systems of Equations
Two systems of equations are given below. For each system, choose the best description of its solution. If applicable, give the solution.
## System 1:
\[
-x - 2y = -2
\]
\[
x + 2y = 2
\]
- ○ The system has no solution.
- ⊙ The system has a unique solution: \((x, y) = ( \_ , \_ )\)
- ○ The system has infinitely many solutions. They must satisfy the following equation: \(y = \_\)
Solution: The indicated answer for this system is that it has no solution.
## System 2:
\[
x + 2y = 6
\]
\[
-x - 2y = 6
\]
- ⊙ The system has no solution.
- ○ The system has a unique solution: \((x, y) = ( \_ , \_ )\)
- ○ The system has infinitely many solutions. They must satisfy the following equation: \(y = \_\)
Solution: The indicated answer for this system is that it has a unique solution.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe2802132-015a-481b-8a22-8b81eb97db73%2F27cf34de-df85-4c53-a5b9-1409258d91f5%2Fu0ufbnc_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
