Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the question as an equation

x+y = -5

2x+y = -2

From the given equations, we can create a third one.

x+y+2x+y = -7 or 3x+2y = -7

Use trial and error method for the possible values x and y

We know that at least one of these two have to be negative.

x can be 1, in which case y has to be 5.

Check this for

x+y ≠ -5

x can be -1

Try another one where x = -1 and y has to equal -2

Check this

X

x+y = -5

but,

2x+y ≠ -2

Another one,

Suppose you want to solve the equation 2a + 2b= 2a, where a and b are nonzero real numbers. Describe the solution to this equati
Anna11 [10]
This equation has no solution where 'a' and 'b'
are both non-zero real numbers.

You said                                 2a + 2b = 2a

Subtract 2a from each side:         2b = 0

'b' must be zero.

And it doesn't matter what the value of 'a' is.
As long as b=0, 'a' can be any number.
