Given the system of equations below


\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+(7)/(4)\ldots(1) \\ 2x-4y=1\ldots(2) \end{gathered}

Using the substitution method

Substitute the value of y in equation (1) for y in equation (2)


\begin{gathered} 2x-4y=1 \\ 2x-4((1)/(2)x+(7)/(4))=1 \\ 2x-2x-7=1 \\ -7=1 \end{gathered}

The graph of the syste

Hence, there is no solution
