Question

What is the solution to this system of

equations?
6x - 2y = 8
1-3x + y = -4
A. No Solution
B. (0, -4)
C. Infinite Solutions

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

System of Linear Equations given :

[1] 6x-2y=8

[2] 1-3x+y=-4

Equations Simplified or Rearranged :

[1] 6x - 2y = 8

[2] -3x + y = -5

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = 3x - 5

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] 6x - 2•(3x-5) = 8

[1] 0 = -2 => NO solution
