Ineed somebody to paraphrase this for me! i'll mark 50 ! if the variables cancel out leaving u with an untrue statement, like 0 = 4 or 2 = 6, then u will have no solutions if the variables cancel out leaving u with a true statement, like 2 = 2 or 4 = 4, then u will have infinite solutions if u end up with a variable equaling a number, then u have 1 solution
