We need to solve -3x+4y=12 for x

Let's start by adding -4y to both sides

-3x+4y-4y=12-4y

-3x=-4y+12

x = (-4y+12)/-3

x= 4/3 y -4

Now substitute 4/3 y -4 for x in 1/4 x - 1/3 y =1

1/4 x -1/3 y =1

1/4 (4/3 y -4) -1/3 y =1

Use the distributive property

(1/4)(4/3 y) + (1/4)(-4) -1/3 y =1

1/3 y -1 - 1/3 y =1

Now combine like terms

(1/3y -1/3y) + (-1) =1

= -1

-1 = 1

Now add 1 to both sides

0=2

So there are no Solutions

The answer is C


I hope that's help Will :)
