Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x - 6y = -12, x -2y =-8.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write down the equations so we can have a vision of the equations.

3x - 6y = -12

x - 2y = -8

Now we find the simpler equation, and we make it to where one of the variables is on one side.

Let's use the bottom equation.

x = 2y - 8

Now we plug in the equation to the other equation.

3(2y - 8) - 6y = -12

6y - 24 - 6y = -12

-24 = -12

0 = 12

This is a false statement. 0 does not equal 12. That means that the equation has no solutions.
