The statement that correctly describes the solution to this system of equations is: "There is exactly one solution to this system of linear equations and it is (2, 0)."

The correct statement that describes the solution to this system of equations is: "There is exactly one solution to this system of linear equations and it is (2, 0)."

To solve this system of equations, we will use the method of elimination.

First, let's rearrange the equations so that the x and y terms line up nicely:

Equation 1: 8x - 2y = -4
Equation 2: 4x - y = -2

To eliminate the y term, we can multiply Equation 2 by -2, so that the y terms will cancel each other:

Equation 1: 8x - 2y = -4
Equation 2: -8x + 2y = 4

Now, let's add the two equations together:

8x - 2y + (-8x + 2y) = -4 + 4

This simplifies to:

0 = 0

The resulting equation is always true, which means that the two lines are coincident or overlapping. Therefore, the system of equations has infinite solutions.

So, the correct statement is: There are infinite solutions to this system of linear equations.

Your wrong

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve the system of equations correctly.

We have the following system of equations:

Equation 1: 8x - 2y = -4
Equation 2: 4x - y = -2

To solve this system by elimination, we can multiply Equation 2 by 2 and then add the two equations:

2*(Equation 2): 8x - 2y = -4

Adding this to Equation 1, we get:

(8x - 2y) + (8x - 2y) = -4 + (-4)
16x - 4y = -8

Further simplifying, we divide the entire equation by 4:

4x - y = -2

Comparing Equation 3 to Equation 1, we can see that they are the same equation.

So, the two equations represent the same line, and therefore, there are infinite solutions to this system of linear equations.

The correct statement is: There are infinite solutions to this system of linear equations.
