You use substitution to solve a system of equations and, after simplifying the equations, end with an expression that says 0 = 4. What does that say about the the lines and about the number of solutions to the system?

Sample Response: Since the statement is false, there are no solutions to the system of equations. This also indicates that the lines are parallel.

Check all that you included in your response.
□ The equation is false.
□ False equations indicate no solution.
□ No solution indicates a system with parallel lines.

Hope this helps!
