how do you solve the system? 5x- 1y=8 and 25x- 5y= 32
..
5x- 1y=8
y=5x-8
..
25x- 5y= 32
sub for y
25x-5(5x-8)=32
25x-25x+40=32
40≠32 (no solution)
..
The reason there is no solution is that the lines of given linear equations are parallel to each other, there is no point of intersection. Equations are independent and system is inconsistent.
