The system has no solutions.
1. 4x=-29+2y
-4x+2y=-16 (rearrange this equation to find 2y)

2. 2y=-16+4x (rearranged equation)
Plug the rearranged equation into the first one.

3. 4x=-29+(-16+4x) (new equation)
Now solve for X

4. Once you solve the equation you’ll find 0=-45 which means there’s no solution

x= -29+2y/4

-4(-29+2y/4)+2y=-16

+116-8y/4 +2y=-18
