Answer: For the system given, there is no solution.
The slopes are the same for both equations, so the lines are parallel. With no intersection, there is no solution.
It may be easier to graph the system if you change the equations to slope intercept form y = mx + b
That locates the y-intercept, <em><u>b</u></em> and you can use the slope, <em><u>m</u></em> to plot additional points to draw the lines.
The attachment shows the graph of this system of equations.
Step-by-step explanation: Isolate y on the left
<u>First equation:</u>
4x + 6y = -12 Subtract 4x from both sides
6y = -4x -12 Divide both sides by 6
y = -4x/6 -12/6 Simplify
y = -2x/3 - 2 The y-intercept is -2, <u>the slope is -2/3</u>
<u>Second equation:</u>
2x + 3y = 6 Subtract 2x from both sides
3y = –2x + 6 . Divide both sides by 3
y = –2x/3 + 6/3 Simplify
y = –2x/3 +2 The y-intercept is -2, <u>the slope is -2/3 </u>
At this point we see that the slopes are the same, so the lines are parallel.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The phrase "Three times the quantity five less than x" means 3 multiplied by the difference of x minus 5
3(x-5)
The phrase "the product of six and x" means the number 6 multiplied by x
6x
therefore
The phrase" Three times the quantity five less than x, divided by the product of six and x" is equal to the quotient of 3(x-5) and 6x
