Answer:

Explanation:

A first for be we must substitute y in the 1st equation for 2x-5

then you distribute 8x - 4(2x-5) = -8

8x - 8x + 20 = -8

x values cancel out and your left with 20 = - 8

B this tells you that there is no solution

a)8x-4(2x-5)= -8

b) parallel lines(they never touch)

and for A all you have to do is solve it like normal and you will end up with a impossible solution
