-2x - y = 1 (1st)

-4x - 2y = -1 (2nd)

Multiply 1st equation by 2

-4x - 2y = 2

Now you have 2 new equations

-4x - 2y = 2

-4x - 2y = -1

----------------------Subtract

0 ≠ 3

Answer: The correct option is

(B) no solution.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution to the following system of equations :

$-2x-y=1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\-4x-2y=-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

From equation (i), we have

$-2x-y=1\\\\\Rightarrow y=-2x-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of y from equation (iii) in equation (ii), we get

$-4x-2(-2x-1)=-1\\\\\Rightarrow -4x+4x+2=-1\\\\\Rightarrow 2=-1,$

which can never be possible.

Therefore, the given system of equations has no solution.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Mr. Horn had a sheet of plywood that measured 84 inches long and 65 inches wide. He sawed th sheet of plywood in half. What was

Fofino [41]

Draw a rectangle with one side equal to 84 in. and the other side equal to 65 in. We know that area = l*w, so the area of the rectangle is 5,460 sq. in. Since Mr. Horn cut the piece of plywood in half, he produces two identical pieces of plywood, with half the amount of area as the original. So, 5,460 sq. in. divided by 2 = 2,730 sq. in.
