Q. х + 66у = r - 22х\newline22(x+44) + 22y = 1111 + \frac{11}{22}(1616+22x)\newlineIn the system of equations, r is a constant. For what value of r does the system of linear equations have infinitely many solutions?
  1. Write Equations: First, let's write down the system of equations:\newline11) х+6у=r2хх + 6у = r - 2х\newline22) 2(x+4)+2y=11+12(16+2x)2(x+4) + 2y = 11 + \frac{1}{2}(16+2x)\newlineWe need to simplify and manipulate these equations to find a condition for rr that would result in infinitely many solutions.
  2. Simplify Second Equation: Let's simplify the second equation:\newline2(x+4)+2y=11+12(16+2x)2(x+4) + 2y = 11 + \frac{1}{2}(16+2x)\newline2x+8+2y=11+8+x2x + 8 + 2y = 11 + 8 + x\newlineNow, combine like terms:\newline2x+2y+8=19+x2x + 2y + 8 = 19 + x\newlineSubtract xx from both sides to get the equation in terms of xx and yy:\newlinex+2y+8=19x + 2y + 8 = 19
  3. Combine Terms: Now, let's simplify the first equation by moving all terms involving xx to one side: x+6y=r2xx + 6y = r - 2x Add 2x2x to both sides: 3x+6y=r3x + 6y = r Divide by 33 to simplify: x+2y=r3x + 2y = \frac{r}{3}
  4. Simplify First Equation: We now have two equations:\newline11) x+2y=r3x + 2y = \frac{r}{3}\newline22) x+2y+8=19x + 2y + 8 = 19\newlineFor the system to have infinitely many solutions, these two equations must represent the same line. Therefore, the left-hand sides of the equations are already the same, and the right-hand sides must also be the same.
  5. Set Equations Equal: Set the right-hand sides of the equations equal to each other to find the value of rr that makes the equations identical:\newliner3=198\frac{r}{3} = 19 - 8\newliner3=11\frac{r}{3} = 11\newlineMultiply both sides by 33 to solve for rr:\newliner=33r = 33
