How many solutions will (7x+2y=3) and (5x+4y=9) have?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: One unique solution

The direct answer is option D: one unique solution. For two linear equations \(a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0\) and \(a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0\), different ratios \(a_1/a_2\) and \(b_1/b_2\) mean the lines have different slopes and meet once. Here \(a_1/a_2=7/5\), while \(b_1/b_2=2/4=1/2\). These are unequal, so the lines are neither parallel nor the same line. They intersect at exactly one point. Option A, infinitely many solutions, would require all three corresponding ratios to be equal. Option B, no solution, would describe distinct parallel lines, usually when the coefficient ratios are equal but the constant ratio differs. Option C, exactly two solutions, is impossible for two distinct linear equations in two variables: two lines can meet once, never, or coincide, but not at exactly two points. Option D is therefore correct. Exam cue: unequal coefficient ratios usually signal a unique solution.
