2t = 40 − 2w





a.The system has no solution.





b.The system has infinite solutions.





c.The system has a single solution: t = 5, w = 10.





d.The system has a single solution: t = 10, w = 5.





e.The system has a single solution: t = 7.5, w = 7.5.

2t = 40 - 2w
t = 40/2 (-2/2)w
t = 20 - w -- rearrange
t = -w + 20

t + w = 15
t = -w + 15

same slope, different y intercepts.....parallel lines, no solutions

Answer:

Try to solve the system using the elimination method.

Rewrite the second equation.


        2t = 40 − 2w

2t + 2w = 40


Multiply the first equation by -2.


    t + w = 15

-2t − 2w = -30


Add the two modified equations.


    2t + 2w = 40

+  -2t − 2w = -30

              0 = 10


The resulting equation is not true. So, this system has no solution.
