The system of equations have no solution.

Explanation:

The equations are 4r+\frac{1}{2}s=12 and 2r+\frac{1}{4} s=8

To find the two numbers, let us solve the equations using substitution method.

From the equation 2r+\frac{1}{4} s=8, let us determine the value of r,

$\begin{aligned} 2 r+\frac{1}{4} s &=8 \\ 2 r &=8-\frac{1}{4} s \\ r &=\frac{1}{2}\left(8-\frac{1}{4} s\right) \\ r &=4-\frac{1}{8} s \end{aligned}$

Let us substitute the value of r in 4r+\frac{1}{2}s=12, we get,

$\begin{aligned} 4\left(4-\frac{1}{8} s\right)+\frac{1}{2} s &=12 \\ 16-\frac{1}{2} s+\frac{1}{2} s &=12 \\ 16 &=12 \end{aligned}$

which is not possible.

This means that the system has no solution.

How do i find the solution or can you help me find it please
Verizon [17]

remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides


we can do a subsitution

y=x+6

y=-7x-10

since y=x+6, we can subsitute x+6 for y in the other equation

y=-7x-10

x+6=-7x-10

add 7x to both sides

8x+6=-10

minus 6 from both sides

8x=-16

divide both sides by 8

x=-16/8=-2


the valu eof x that satisfies both equations is x=-2
