Question

Solve by elimination

8x-14y=-6
12x-21y=5

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

`8x - 14y = -6\\12x - 21y = 5\\`

multiply both sides by -3

`-24x + 42y = 18\\-24x - 42y = 10\\0 = 28\\`

(eliminate the equations vertically to eliminate one variable )

the statement is false for any value of x and y therefore there is no solution to solve

I hope this helps!
