$\"5x+-2=y+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-5x=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From eq.1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=y%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-%28y%2B2%29=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y-2=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "False, since the equation leads to an inconsistency there is no solution.
\n" ); document.write( "These two lines are parallel and never meet, hence no solution. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
