Use elimination to solve each system of equations. \n" ); document.write( "X=4Y+8 \n" ); document.write( "2X-8Y=-3 \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Rearrange: \n" ); document.write( "x - 4y = 8 \n" ); document.write( "2x-8y = -3 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Multiply 1st by 2 to get: \n" ); document.write( "2x - 8y = 16 \n" ); document.write( "2x - 8y = -3 \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Subtract to get: \n" ); document.write( "0 = 19 \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( "That is a contradiction resulting from assuming the x and the y in one \n" ); document.write( "equation is the same as the x and the y in the other equation. \n" ); document.write( "Conclusion: There is no solution; the lines are parallel. \n" ); document.write( "=========================================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
