Answer:
A the system has no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying 2x + -5y = -8
Solving 2x + -5y = -8
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5y' to each side of the equation. 2x + -5y + 5y = -8 + 5y
Combine like terms: -5y + 5y = 0 2x + 0 = -8 + 5y 2x = -8 + 5y
Divide each side by '2'. x = -4 + 2.5y Simplifying x = -4 + 2.5y
Solution for 2x-5=12 equation:
2x - 5 = 12
2x = 12 + 5
2x = 17 (divide both sides by 2 to get x)
2x/2 = 17/2
x = 8.5
