Concept guide
Linear systems in two variables: the unique-solution formula, checking both rows, and consistency when D=0
(I) Solve 2x+3y=7, x−y=1: prove the unique-solution formula when D=ae−bd≠0, solve, and check by substituting into both rows; (II) decide x+2y=3, 2x+4y=7; (III) decide x+2y=3, 2x+4y=6; and use (IV) 0x+0y=1, 0x+0y=2 to show that D and both Cramer numerators being zero does not imply infinitely many solutions.
