The system of equations x + 2y = 3 and 2x + 3y = 3 has
Options
- ANo solution
- BUnique solution
- CInfinite solutions
- DOnly two solutions
Correct answer
B. Unique solution
Step-by-step solution
The given system of equations is: x + 2y = 3 2x + 3y = 3 Comparing with the standard form a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂ , we have: a₁ a₂ = 1 2 b₁ b₂ = 2 3 Since a₁ a₂ b₁ b₂ , the lines intersect at a single point. Therefore, the system of equations has a unique solution. Answer: Unique solution
