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!

*A number consisting of two digits is three times the sum of its digits. If 45 is added
stich3 [128]

Answer: The number is 27

              The system of equations is:     7x - 2y = 0

                                                                 -9x + 9y = 45

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the number in the tens place and y represent the number in the ones place.  <u>x</u> <u>y</u>

Then 10x + y = 3(x + y)

When the digits are reversed: 10y + x = 10x + y + 45

Simplify each of the above equations and then create a system of equations:

10x + y = 3x + 3y             →        7x - 2y  = 0

10y + x = 10x + y + 45      →       -9x + 9y = 45

9( 7x - 2y  =  0)    →      63x - 18y = 0

2(-9x + 9y = 45)   →    <u> -18x + 18y </u>=<u> 90</u>

                                     45x         = 90

                                                x  =  2  

Input x = 2 into either equation to solve for y:

7x - 2y  = 0

7(2) - 2y = 0

14          = 2y

          7 = y

Q# 7 please anybody help me
astra-53 [7]

√42 is an irrational number, because you cannot express the answer as a fraction (ratio), and it certainly isn't a whole number or an integer.

What is greater 6 pints or 60 fluid ounces
Juliette [100K]
The answer is 6 pints equal to more than 60 fluid ounces

1 pint = 16 ounces.
6 pints = x

Use the proportion:
1 pint : 16 ounces = 6 pints : x
x = 16 ounces * 6 pints : 1 pint
x = 96 ounces

6 pints = 96 ounces > 60 ounces
Therefore, 6<span> pints equal to more than 60 fluid ounces</span>
