Answer:

This system has no solutions.

Explanation:

We can tell this because when we try to solve by elimination we get an untrue statement. To show this first multiply the first equation by -2 and then add the equations together.

-6x + 8y = -12

6x - 8y = 10

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

0 = -2

Since this is an untrue statement, we know that there is no solution to this system
