For the given set of linear equations, x - 2y = 2 and 3x - 6y = 0 , what kind of solution do they have?

Solution

The given set of linear equations is:

  1. x - 2y = 2
  2. 3x - 6y = 0

First, let's simplify the second equation by dividing it by 3:

x - 2y = 0

Now, we have two equations:

  1. x - 2y = 2
  2. x - 2y = 0

These two equations are parallel lines because they have the same coefficients for x and y. However, they have different constant terms on the right side of the equation (2 and 0).

Therefore, these two equations have no solution because parallel lines never intersect.
