You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve by using elimination. This cant be solved right?
x-4y=2 Multiply by 4 to both sides and you'll get 4x-16y=8 which is identical to the one below
4x-16y=8
ANSWER: Because these are equations are dependent (one equation is a multiple of the other, 4 in this case), there are many solutions that satisfies these equations.
I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
