Solve by substition:

Rewrite this as: and substitute into the first equation, then solve for y.
Apply the distributive property.
Subtract 4 from both sides.
Combine like-terms.
Inconsistent!
This system has no solution, it is an inconsistent system.
The graphs of the lines represented by these two equations are parallel, they have no points in common.
