Explanation:

If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

__

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.

x = -2 to x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-6y= -12

There is no solution to this system of equations because they both have the same slope.

If two lines have the same slope, but are not identically the same line, then they will never intersect. There is no pair (x, y) that could satisfy both equations, because there is no point (x, y) that is simultaneously on both lines. Therefore, these equations are said to be inconsistent, and there is no solution.
