Paul scored z points playing a math game. meghan scored 4 times as many points as paul. kieran scored 5 more points than meghan.
a. find the number of points meghan scored in terms of z.
b. find the number of points kieran scored in terms of z.
c. find the total number of points the three players scored in terms of z.

Option (B) is correct.

The system of equations has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a system of linear equation in two variables,

 (1)

and   (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2, we get,

 (1) ⇒    (3)

Now, subtract (2) from (3), we get

Here, both variables x and y got cancel out and we are left with 0 = 7 which is not true. thus, the system has no solution.

Also, when we plot these system we get parallel lines which has no solution.( refer attachment)

Thus, when solving a system of linear equations in two variables, both variables happen to cancel, leaving you with a false statement ,then the given system of equations has no solution.
