Answer:

0=0

or as separate equations:

y=1/2

X=4y+2

Step-by-step explanation:

If we solve your system by elimination:

x−4y=2;4x−16y=8 -->

Multiply the first equation by -4,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−4(x−4y=2)

1(4x−16y=8)

Becomes:

−4x+16y=−8

4x−16y=8

Add these equations to eliminate x:

0=0
