Question

3x – 4y = 2; 6x – 8y = 1 .

How many solutions PLEASE

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

3x - 4y = 2

6x - 8y =1

Multiply the first equation by -2 so you can eliminate the x's.

-2(3x-4y =2)

6x - 8y = 1

-6x + 8y = 2

6x - 8y = 1

Add the equations so they cancel.

0 + 0 = 3

0
`\\eq` 3, therefore there are no solutions.
