Answer:
- no solutions
- a finite number of solutions
- an infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question is very general, including linear and non-linear equations of any number and/or degree. In the general case you're asking about, there will be ...
- no solutions -- no values of the variables satisfy all equations
- a finite number of solutions -- all equations are satisfied for some finite set of variable values
- an infinite number of solutions -- equations are dependent (or periodic*) so the set of solutions is an infinite set
__
For 2 linear equations in 2 unknowns, there will be 0, 1, or infinite solutions.
_____
* Aperiodic equations may also have an infinite number of solutions. 1/sin(x)=0 is an example.
