10x – 4 = 2y
2y – 10x = 2
--------------
It's your option to solve for "x" or for "y";
Solving the 2nd for y you would get:
y = 5x+1
----
Substitute into the 1st equation and solve for "x":
10x - 4 = 2(5x+1)
10x - 4 = 10x + 2
-4 = 2
----
That is a contradiction.
I assumed the x in both equations and the y in
both equations could be the same. They cannot.
The system is inconsistent. The lines are parallel.
There is no solution.
