A single linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions. Two linear equations in two variables will usually have a single solution - but it is also possible that they have no solution, or infinitely many solutions.

When you solve equation describe how you know when there will be a infinite solutions?
If the solution contains one variable which has not been fixed then there are infinitely many solution.
What is the answer to -9x-7y equals -2?
There are infinitely many solutions. One linear equation in two variables cannot be solved to give a single answer.
How many solutions does the equation 14x plus 2 equals 12x have?
That looks like a linear equation (no quadratic or higher terms), so you can expect it to have a single solution. However, actually solving the equation is not difficult; do it, to confirm this.
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is -4 how many solutions does the equation have?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less then 0 then it will have no real solutions.
Can a system of linear equations have two solutions?
No. The graph of each linear equation is a straight line, and two or more lines can't all intersect at more than one point. * * * * * Unless all the lines are, in fact, the same line. In that case each point on the line is a solution. That is, there are infinitely many solutions.
An equation has one solution?
A linear equation in one variable has one solution. An equation of another kind may have none, one, or more - including infinitely many - solutions.
How many answers does a linear equation in one variable have?
one
How many solutions does a 2 variable equation have?

How many solutions are there in a linear equation?
Either an infinite number or none.
How many solutions does an equation have when you isolate the variable and it equals constant?
As many solutions as there are points in the domain.
What are inifintly equations?
Linear equations with one, zero, or infinite solutions. Fill in the blanks to form a linear equation with infinitely many solutions.
How many solution does a linear inequality in one variable have?
Inequalities tend to have infinitely many solutions.
How many solutions does an equation have when the variable adds out and the final sentence is false?
none
Does an equation have one true solution?
-- If the equation has only one variable (like 'x' or 'y'), and the only power of the variable anywhere in the equation is '1', then the equation has one solution. -- If the variable appears raised to powers higher than '1', then there are as many solutions as the highest power of the variable. -- If the equation has two or more variables, then there are an infinite number of solutions.
How do you identify 2 solutions to a linear equation?
A linear equation is that of a straight line. Any one of the infinitely many points on the line will be solutions. If the equation is in terms of the variables x and y, just pick any two values of x, solve for y and the results will be the coordinates of two solutions.
How can you tell when an equation in one variable has infinitely many solutions or no solutions?
There is no simple method. The answer depends partly on the variable's domain. For example, 2x = 3 has no solution is x must be an integer, or y^2 = -9 has no solution if y must be a real number but if it can be a complex number, it has 2 solutions.
How many solutions does an inconsistent equation have?
An inconsistent equation (or system of equations) is one that has no possible solutions. That is precisely why we call it inconsistent; there is no solution set that can be substituted for its variable or variables that will make the equation (or system) true.
