a.
To find: Two equations to support Student A’s claim.
a.
Answer to Problem 3CA
Explanation of Solution
Given information:Student A claims he can form a linear system from the equations shown that has infinitely many solutions. Student B claims she can form a linear system from the equations shown that has one solution. Student C claims he can form a linear system from the equations shown that has no solution.
Calculation:Considering the equations,
From equation (1),
Putting the value of y in equation (2),
This is true for all values of x. So the system has infinite solutions.
Thus, the system of linear equations which has infinite solution is,
b.
To find: Two equations to support Student B’s claim.

Answer to Problem 3CA
Explanation of Solution
Given information:Student A claims he can form a linear system from the equations shown that has infinitely many solutions. Student B claims she can form a linear system from the equations shown that has one solution. Student C claims he can form a linear system from the equations shown that has no solution.
Calculation:Considering the equations,
From equation (3),
Putting the value of y in equation (4),
Putting the value of x in equation (5),
Thus, the solution of the system is
This system has only one solution.
Thus, the system of linear equations which has one solution is,
c.
To find: Two equations to support Student C’s claim.

Answer to Problem 3CA
Explanation of Solution
Given information:Student A claims he can form a linear system from the equations shown that has infinitely many solutions. Student B claims she can form a linear system from the equations shown that has one solution. Student C claims he can form a linear system from the equations shown that has no solution.
Calculation:Considering the equations,
From equation (6),
Putting the value of y in equation (7),
The statement is false. So the system has no solution.
Thus, the system of linear equations which has no solution is,
