8.3 # 28
Solve by substitution
Mcgraw Hill 6th editon,
:
L1) 4x-12y=5
L2) -x+3y= -1
: Solve L2) for x and substitute it in for the x in L1) and solve for y:
-x+3y-3y=-1-3y
-x=-1-3y
-1(-x)=-1(-1-3y)
L1)
L2)

Your y was eliminated and 4 does not = 5, therefore there is no solution. Graphically, these line are parallel and never intersect. We call these equations inconsistent.
Happy Calculating!!!
