The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of the solutions for the given system of equations \(x + 2y = 13\) and \(3x + 6y = 9\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations in standard form The equations are already in standard form: 1. \(x + 2y - 13 = 0\) (Equation 1) 2. \(3x + 6y - 9 = 0\) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Identify coefficients From the equations, we can identify the coefficients: - For Equation 1: - \(a_1 = 1\) - \(b_1 = 2\) - \(c_1 = -13\) - For Equation 2: - \(a_2 = 3\) - \(b_2 = 6\) - \(c_2 = -9\) ### Step 3: Calculate the ratios of the coefficients Now we calculate the ratios: 1. \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{1}{3} \) 2. \( \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \) 3. \( \frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{-13}{-9} = \frac{13}{9} \) ### Step 4: Analyze the ratios Now we compare the ratios: - \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( \frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{13}{9} \) ### Step 5: Determine the nature of the solutions Since \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \) but \( \frac{c_1}{c_2} \) is not equal to these ratios, we fall into the second case of the conditions for the system of equations: - **Case**: \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \) but \( \frac{c_1}{c_2} \neq \frac{a_1}{a_2} \) - **Conclusion**: This indicates that the system of equations has **no solution**. ### Final Answer: The system of equations \(x + 2y = 13\) and \(3x + 6y = 9\) has **no solution**. ---
