Consider the system of equations x + y = 2, ax + y = b. Find conditions on a and b under which
(i) the system has exactly one solution;
(ii) the system has no solution;
(iii) the system has more than one solution.
Solution to the linear equations
\( a_{11} x + a_{12} y = b_1 \\ a_{21} x + a_{22} y = b_2 \)
\(a_{11} \times a_{22} - a_{12} \times a_{21} \neq 0 \) implies there is a unique solution.
\(a_{11} \times a_{22} - a_{12} \times a_{21} = 0 \) implies there is either no solution or infinitely many solution.
No solution if: \( \frac{a_{11}}{a_{21} } = \frac{a_{12}}{a_{22}} \neq = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \); infinitely many solutions other wise.
