Answer to Problem 10SGR

A consistent and independent system of equations has finite number of solutions (one).

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given system of equations is consistent and independent.

If a system has at least one solution, then it is said to be consistent. If a consistent system of equations has exactly one solution, it is independent .

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it isdependent,when graphed such equations, represent the same line. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent .The graphs of such equations do not intersect, i.e., graphs are parallel. Consider system ofequations x+4y=6 , and 12x+2y=3 is shown in Figure-1 here.

  Algebra 1, Homework Practice Workbook (MERRILL ALGEBRA 1), Chapter 6, Problem 10SGR

The graph of both the equations is same, the solution of equation x+4y=6 is also solution of equation 12x+2y=3 i.e. the solutions are dependent. There are infinite number of solutions. Since system has solution so system is consistent.

Thus, a consistent and dependent system of equations has infinite number of solutions, and a consistent and independent system of equations has finite number of solutions (one).

Conclusion:

A consistent and independent system of equations has finite number of solutions (one).
