How many solutions does this system of equations have?

X-2y=6 and 3x-6y=18

they are the same line, so infinitely many solutions.

Well, let me put on my mathematician's nose and crunch some numbers. *Honk honk!* After doing some calculations, it appears that this system of equations has infinitely many solutions! It's like a clown car filled with answers, never-ending! It's quite the mathematical party. *Throws confetti*

To determine the number of solutions for this system of equations, you can solve them simultaneously using a method such as substitution or elimination.

Let's solve them using the elimination method:

1. Multiply the first equation by 3 to make the coefficients of x in both equations the same:
3(x - 2y) = 3(6)
This simplifies to: 3x - 6y = 18

2. Notice that the resulting equation is the same as the second equation in the system. This means that the two equations represent the same line, and therefore, they are dependent.

Since the equations are dependent, there are infinitely many solutions. Any point on the line represented by the equations satisfies both equations.

To determine the number of solutions for a system of equations, we can use a technique called elimination or substitution.

Let's start by using the elimination method for this system of equations. We'll multiply the first equation by 3 in order to make the coefficients of x in both equations equal:

3(x - 2y) = 3(6)
3x - 6y = 18

Now we can compare the modified first equation with the second equation:

3x - 6y = 18
3x - 6y = 18

As we can see, the coefficients of both x and y are the same in both equations. This implies that the two equations represent the same line and are, in fact, parallel.

When two lines are parallel, they will never intersect, which means there is no common solution. Therefore, this system of equations has NO SOLUTION.

In summary, the system of equations is inconsistent and has no solution.
