You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please help me solve this question. I need to solve the system for x and y. I need to show an answer as an ordered pair, (x,y).
x + y = -9
x + y = -2
------
If you assume there is such an (x,y) pair,
and you subtract one equation from the other
you would get the following:
0 = 7
---
That is a contradiction.
Why did it happen?
---
Because you assumed there was an (x,y) pair.
---
Conclusion:
There is no such x/y pair.
There is no solution for the system.
The system is said to be "inconsistent".
