Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
8x + 11y = -50
-32x � 44y = -200
-----
Multiply thru the 1st equation by -4
---
-32x - 44y = 200
-32x - 44y = -200
---------------
Subtract:
0 = 400
---
That is a contradiction.
There is no ordered pair (x,y) that satisfies the system.
The lines are parallel.
