Question

How do i find the solution to x+y=-2 y=x+2

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

x+y = -2

y = x + 2

let's start by isolating the y in both equations so we can compare them

subtract both sides by x to get this for the first equation

y = -2 + x

y = x + 2

this means

-2 + x = x + 2

subtract x from both sides

-2 = 2

this is never possible, so there is no solution
