Okay, so this is basically telling you that there is no solution. You don't have to worry about there being one. You just have to justify (or explain) why there isn't one.
Basically, neither y or x is equal to anything. You couldn't make x equal to a value in y because x and y are both together in the equation and equal to numbers.
We can always move a factor to the other side. So,
x-2y= -8
Add 2y to the other side.
x= -8+2y
Now, plug in -8+2y as x.
3(-8+2y)- 6y=-12
-24+6y-6y= -12
The 6y's cancel out. So, we can't figure out what y is.
-24=-12 <- no y.
These two lines are parallel. They have direct proportion in each other. That is why there is no solution because the lines never cross. Parallel lines do not cross.
I hope this helps!

You can try then by plotting the points in.
The answer is C
Make sure by plotting in the points, lets take (-5,27)
y = 12 -3(-5)
y = 12 + 15
y = 27
27 = 27
This is correct
Lets try (-1,15)
y = 12 -3(-1)
y = 12 + 3
y = 15
15 = 15
This is correct
Lets try (8,-12)
y = 12 -3(8)
y = 12 - 24
y = -12
-12 = -12
This is correct too.
The correct ordered pairs are <span>C(-5,27),(-1,15),(8,-12)</span>
Answer:
e) 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically there are 3 addition properties and they are associative property, identity property, and commutative property.
Commutative property is just changing the order of the addends. Example: 26+19+34+21= 21+34+19+26
Identity Property is just adding a 0 to the number that doesnt change anything. Example: 26+19+34+21 +0 = 100
Associative property is just changing the grouping of the addends. Example: (26+19) + (34+21)
I know these properties may be complicated i know inhate them too haha but i hope i helped :) if you want you can search up the distributive property too but its with multiplication and addition combined and its harder but i think these are the 3 main properties.
Hope this helps!
