Question 361788: i need help with this problem i dont know how to solve it.
The topic is System of equation
2x-3y=16
y=2/3x-4

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.2x-3y=16
2.y=%282%2F3%29x-4
Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1 and solve for x.
Once you have x, then use eq. 2 to solve for y.
2x-3%28%282%2F3%29x-4%29=16
2x-%282x-12%29=16
2x-2x%2B12=16
12=16
Oops, that's not true.
Your equations lead to an inconsistency, there is no solution.
These two lines are parallel and never meet, hence no solution.
