Question

The first equation in a system is 5x+2y=-4. Which equation gives a system with no solution.

Answer 1

= 0.8 + -0.4y

Explanation:

Simplifying

5x + 2y = 4

Solving

5x + 2y = 4

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.

5x + 2y + -2y = 4 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0

5x + 0 = 4 + -2y

5x = 4 + -2y

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 0.8 + -0.4y
