To eliminate the terms in y, multiply the first equation
through by 2:
Now add corresponding terme vertically:
Since all the variables cancelled out leaving only
numbers, and the resulting numerical equation is
FALSE, the system is said to be INCONSISTENT, and
has NO SOLUTION.
[Note: If all the variables had cancelled out leaving
only numbers, and the resulting numerical equation had
been TRUE instead of FALSE, then the system would have
been DEPENDENT, and the system would have INFINITELY
MANY SOLUTIONS.]
