Answer: it has no solution

Explanation:

8x - 2y = 1 ..................... equation 1

-4x + y = 3 ...................... equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method . From equation 2 , make y the subject of the formula.

y = 3 + 4x .......................... equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 1 .

8x - 2(3 + 4x ) = 1

8x - 6 - 8x = 1

8x- 8x - 6 = 1

-6 = 1

this means that the equation has no solution
