Question

(PLEASE HELP PLEASE.) Use addition to solve the system of linear equations. Include all of your work in your final answer.

x-y=8
y=x-6

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

x-y=8

y=x-6

Subtract x from both sides on the bottom equation. Then add the equations.

x - y = 8

+ -x + y = -6

--------------------

0 + 0 = 2

0 = 2

Since 0 = 2 is a false statement, this system of equations is incosistent and has no solution.

Answer: no solution
