Solve by the elimination method.
3x + 4y = 4
6x + 8y = 8
help please.

Answer by edjones(8007)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you multiply the 1st equation by 2 you get the second equation.
They are the same equation.
Since they are the same equation you only have one equation. So, you can't find an answer for x or y.
