Why quadratic equations have two solutions?
If the discriminant of b2-4ac of the quadratic equation is greater the 0 then it will have 2 solutions.
Why are there usually two solutions in quadratic equations and when do they only have one solution?
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have two different solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero then it will have two equal solutions. If the discriminant is less than zero then it will have no real solutions.
Most quadratic equations have how many solutions?

Why are there usually two solutions to a quadratic equation?
In the graph of a quadratic equation, the plotted points form a parabola. This parabola usually intersects the X axis at two different points. Those two points are also the two solutions for the quadratic equation. Alternatively: Quadratic equations are formed by multiplying two linear equations together. Each of the linear equations has one solution - multiplying two together means that the solution for either is also a solution for the quadratic equation - hence you get two possible solutions for the quadratic unless both linear equations have exactly the same solution. Example: Two linear equations : x - a = 0 x - b = 0 Multiplied together: (x - a) ( x - b ) = 0 Either a or b is a solution to this quadratic equation. Hence most often you have two solutions but never more than two and always at least one solution.
Which of the following systems of equations has no solution?
If they are quadratic equations then if their discriminant is less than zero then they have no solutions
