Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

There is no solution to this inconsistent system of linear equations. They describe parallel lines.

__

Adding twice the first equation to the second gives ...

2(5x +6y) +(-10x -12y) = 2(16) +(25)

0 = 57 . . . . . . . simplify. False

No values of x and y will make this statement true. There is NO SOLUTION to the system of equations.

5x + 6y = 16 -10x-12y = 25-example-1
