  4. D None of the above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) there is only one solution

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 5 & 5 & 9\end{array}\right|\)
\(=1(9-15)-2(18-15)+3(10-5)\)
\(=-6-6+15=3\neq0\)
Hence, the system of equations has a unique solution.
