heather writes the equations below to represent two lines drawn on the coordinate plane. –6x 18y = 0 4x – 12y = 20 after applying the linear combination method, heather arrived at the equation 0 = 60. what conclusion can be drawn about the system of equations? the equation has no solution; therefore, the system of equations has no solution. the equation has a solution at (0, 60); therefore, the system of equations has a solution at (0, 60). the equation has infinite solutions; therefore, the system of equation as infinite solutions. the equation has a solution at (0, 0); therefore, the system of equations has a solution at (0, 0).

In this example the equation has no solution. This is because, in algebra, the variables are what is solved for. Here, through the combination method, Heather has determined that 0 = 60, which is not true. Zero cannot equal a number other than itself; additionally there are no variables that were solved for in this equation. By this it is meant that "x" is not given a value and "y" is not given a value. These two values would be used for coordinates to plot the line on a graph

The correct answer is:

The equation has no solution; therefore, the system of equations has no solution.

Explanation:

When solving a system of equations, after we combine the equations, if we find that there is no solution, that means that there is no solution to the entire system of equations.
