.....eq.1..........both sides divide by
.......eq.2
------------------
.....eq.1
.......eq.2
----------------------------add both eq.1 and eq.2


=> there is no solution; lines are parallel to each other,this system is inconsistent

solve each equation by addition method
x/2+y/4=1
-x/4-y/8=1
Simply multiply each equation by its LCD

    -------- eq (i)

 -------- eq (ii)

  2x + y = 4 ----- Multiplying eq (i) by LCD, 4

- 2x - y = 8 ----- Multiplying eq (ii) by LCD, 8

  ------> False, so NO SOLUTION
