Answer:

The system of linear equation has no solution.

Explanation:

Given : The system of linear equations are


-21+15x=6y and
-5x+2y=-8

To find : What is the solution of the following system of linear equations?

Solution :

Equation 1 -
-21+15x=6y


-7+5x=2y


y=(5x-7)/(2)

Equation 2 -
-5x+2y=-8

Substitute the value of y from equation (1) in equation (2),


-5x+2((5x-7)/(2))=-8


-5x+5x-7=-8


-7\\eq -8

As it is not true.

So, the system of equation does not exist.

Therefore, The system of linear equation has no solution.
