You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x – 4y = -20 multiply by 5
10x – 5y = 35 multiply by -4 & add
40x-20y=-100
-40x+20y=-140
-------------------
0x+0x=-240 no unique solution to these 2 equations.
If graphed you'd find that they are parralel lines.
-4y=-8x=-20
y=-8x/-4-20/-4
y=2x+5 (red line)
10x-5y=35
-5y=-10x+35
y=-10x/-5+35/-5
y=2x-7 (green line)
