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!

In a company, it takes 4 employees 4 days to complete a task. It would take 2 employees 8 days to complete the same task.
Triss [41]
The concept that can be used in order to answer this item is that of man-days. The total number of man-days required to do the job should always be constant. 

This can be illustrated by the givens above.
Scenario 1: 
     N1 = (4 employees)(4 days) = 16 man-days

Scenario 2:
    N2 = (2 employees)(8 days) = 16 man-days

The equation for determining the value of e is equal to,
     k = (d)(e)

The answer is the second choice.

Can someone tell me if I’m right? I put the 80 under 8
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

80

4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct in placing 80 in the box in the table. If you examine the table and the pattern, you'll see that as the number of marbles increases by 10, the weight of the bags increases by 40.

We can determine the rule by dividing 40 by 10: 40 ÷ 10 = 4.

So, the rule is actually to divide the weight of the bag by 4 to find the number of marbles.

Note that this is likely because each marble is 4 grams.
