First of all, you need to know what a 'solution' is, so you'll know it
when you see it.
A 'solution' to an equation is a number, or a set of numbers, that
you can write in place of the variables (the letters), and when you
do that, the equation will have only numbers in it, and it'll be a true
statement.
Your equation has two variables in it ... 'x' and 'y' . In order to find
just a single set of numbers for what both of them must be, you
would need two equations.
The way it stands now, with only one equation, there are actually
an infinite number of solutions. Each solution is a pair of numbers ...
one for 'x' and one for 'y' ... and if you write them into the equation
in place of 'x' and 'y', then the equation is a true statement.
I'll show you how to tell if a pair of numbers is a solution or not.
Here's what that looks like:
Say I give you two pairs of numbers, and I tell you that both of them
are solutions to your equation. The 'solutions' I give you are
x=0
y=1
and
x=2
y=3 .
You don't trust me, and you say to me "Wait just a minute there, dude !
Not so fast. I'll need to check them out and see if those are really solutions
to my equation."
You take the first pair and write it into your equation:
x=1, y=0
9x - 7y = -7
9(0) - 7(1) = -7
0 - 7 = -7
-7 = -7
OK. That's a true statement.
So x=0, y=1 is a solution.
Now check the other one I gave you:
x=2, y=3
9x - 7y = -7
9(2) - 7(3) = -7
18 - 21 = -7
-3 = -7
This is NOT a true statement.
So x=2, y=3 is NOT a solution to your equation.
I pulled a fast one on you. If I was charging you money for solutions,
then you would not pay me for this one, because it's not a solution.

Answer:
one quarter of the total number of students will be those who failed their exam.
Step-by-step explanation:
Three - fourths = those who passed the exam
one quarter will be those who failed their exam
From the total number of the students.
Let's make an example
40 students who take the exam.
3 over 4 students from the total number of 40 take the exam and the result is passed and it mean 30 students passed in the exam.
1 over 4 students take the exam and the result is failed and it mean 10 students failed in the exam.
4 minus 3 over 4 will get the answer 1 over 4.
Use 1 over 4 to multiple with the total number of the students and that how you will get the answer for those who failed in their exam.
The given system of equation has no solution.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u><em>step 1</em></u><em> :</em>
The given equations are 4x + 2y = 14 and 2x + y = 7.
<u><em>step 2</em></u><em> :</em>
Let 4x + 2y = 14 be the first equation.
Let 2x + y = 7 be the second equation.
The solution (x,y) can be determined by solving the two equations, if only the given two equations are different.
<u><em>step 3</em></u><em> :</em>
In first equation taking 2 out as a common factor on both sides, the equation becomes:
2 (2x + y) = 2 (7)
So, the first equation resembles the second one.
<u><em>step 4</em></u><em> :</em>
Since both the equations are similar, they cannot be solved to get a solution. Therefore, the system of equation has no solution which is also known as inconsistent.
