Dear Student
Given, 3x – y = 3 and 9x – 3y = 9 are the two equations. From 1st equation, we get, x = (3+y)/3 Now, substitute the value of x in the given second equation to get, 9(3+y)/3 – 3y = 9 ⇒9 +3y -3y = 9 ⇒ 9 = 9 Therefore, y has infinite values and since, x = (3+y) /3, so x also has infinite values.
