Question

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

Answer 1

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of substitution consists in solving one equation for a variable and replacing it in the other equation.

In this case one of the equations is already solved for one of the variables ($y$):

$y = -2x + 1$

So the next step is to plug this in the other equation wich is:

$4x + 2y = -3$

So we will have

$4x + 2(-2x + 1) = -3$

solving the parenthesis:

$4x-4x -2= -3$

$-2= -3$

wich is not a valid answer, so the system of equations has no solution.

Answer 2

4x+2(-2x+1)=-3
4x-4x+2=-3
2=-3 is not a true statement.

The answer is no solution
