SOLUTION: 8x-4y=12 y=2x-3

Question 818297: 8x-4y=12
y=2x-3
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x - 4y = 12
y = 2x - 3
---
several ways to solve this, one way is substitution:
8x - 4y = 12
8x - 4(2x - 3) = 12
8x - 8x + 12 = 12
0 = 0
---
the lines are parallel, and therefore have no common solution (no point of intersection)
---
check:
8x - 4y = 12
8x - 12 = 4y
2x - 3 = y
y = 2x - 3
---
actually, the equations are not for two distinct parallel lines. rather, both equations are for the same line, the first being in standard form, and the second in slope-intercept form
