Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions? y is equal to 2 x minus 5 2 y minus 4 x is equal to square

Answer
A
10
B
5
C
negative 10
D
negative 5

Explanation

For the equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be equivalent to the first. Substitute y = 2x − 5 into 2y − 4x: 2(2x − 5) − 4x = −10. So the box must contain −10, making the second equation true for every point on the first line. The correct choice is negative 10.
