If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
-3x + 4y = 12
x * 1/4 - 1/3 * y = 1 ... x * 1/4 = 1 + 1/3 * y ... x = 4 + 4/3 * y
_____________
<span>-3x + 4y = 12
</span>-3 * (4 + 4/3 * y) + 4y = 12
-12 - 4y + 4y = 12
-12 = 12
-12 - 12 = 0
-24 = 0
The correct result would be: <span>the system of the equations has no solution; the two lines are parallel.</span>
Answer:
$0.75 per lemon
