Question

Solve this system of equations.

12x − 18y = 27
4x − 6y = 10

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

12x − 18y = 27

4x − 6y = 10

Multiply the second equation by -3 so we can eliminate x

-3(4x − 6y) = 10*-3

-12x +18y = -30

Add the first equation to this new equation

12x − 18y = 27

-12x +18y = -30

------------------------

0 = -3

This is not a true equation, so there is no solution
