Explain how you can determine that the following system has one unique solution – without actually solving the system. 2x+y=4
2y=6-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first you'd have to get the equations in slope-intercept form in order to make it easier for you to see it in the bigger picture. 2x+y=4 would be y= 2x-4, and the other equation would be y= x-3. If you were to solve it, there would be one solution since the y's cancel out. If you graphed it, there would be a point of intersection, unlike when the lines are parallel if there's 0 solutions or only one line's there if there's infinitely many solutions.
