y = 2/3
It doesn't seem correct.
Answer by mathslover(157) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the given equations are
x+4y=8 ------ (1) and
3x=3-12y
3x + 12y =3 .....(2)
Multipying (1) with 3 on both sides we have
3x + 12y =24 .....(3)
Comparing (2) and (3) it is evident that the given system of equations are inconsistent and have NO solutions
