Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Step 1: Simplify the given equations.
The given system of equations is:

Part i

2x+2y=802x + 2y = 80

Part ii

no solution\text{no solution}

30x+30y=4030x + 30y = 40

Divide equation (i) by 2:

2x2+2y2=802\frac{2x}{2} + \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{80}{2} x+y=40(Equation 1’)x + y = 40 \quad (\text{Equation 1'})

Divide equation (ii) by 10:

30x10+30y10=4010\frac{30x}{10} + \frac{30y}{10} = \frac{40}{10} 3x+3y=4(Equation 2’)3x + 3y = 4 \quad (\text{Equation 2'})
  1. Analyze the simplified equations.

    We have:
    Equation 1': x+y=40x + y = 40
    Equation 2': 3x+3y=43x + 3y = 4

    Notice that the left side of Equation 2' can be factored:

    3(x+y)=43(x + y) = 4
  2. Substitute Equation 1' into the factored Equation 2'.

    From Equation 1', we know that x+y=40x + y = 40. Substitute this into 3(x+y)=43(x + y) = 4:

    3(40)=43(40) = 4 120=4120 = 4
  3. Evaluate the result.

    The statement 120=4120 = 4 is false. This means that there are no values of xx and yy that can satisfy both equations simultaneously. The lines represented by these equations are parallel and distinct, so they never intersect.

    The system of equations has no solution\boxed{\text{no solution}}.
