Final answer:

There is no solution for the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations:

5x - 4y = 4 ......(1)

-10x + 8y = 12 ......(2)

We can use the method of substitution to find the values of x and y.

From equation (1), we can rearrange it to express x in terms of y:

5x = 4 + 4y

x = (4 + 4y)/5

Substitute this expression for x in equation (2):

-10((4 + 4y)/5) + 8y = 12

Simplify the equation:

-8 - 8y + 8y = 12

-8 = 12

This equation is not true, which means there is no solution for this system of equations.
