8y = 4x -16
-x = -2y -4
Multiply all terms in the second equation by -1:
-x = -2y -4 x -1 = x = 2y +4
Now replace x in the first equation with this.
8y = 4(2y+4)
Simplify:
8y = 8y +16
Because there is an 8y on both sides of the equation, it cannot be solved.
The answer is no solution.
If a set covers a range of points, including those between isolated points and can not be written as a list, it is called continuous set. Continuous set are not restricted to defined separate values, they can occupy any value over a continuous range.
X-3y=-15
-3y=-x-15
-1(-3y=-x-15)
3y=x+15
3/3y=1/3x+15/3
y=1/3x+5
The distributive property is a(b + c) = ab + ac
