Thank you so much for any help! Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do you solve this? You don't. Your equations can be rephrased as such:
x+2y=9
x=7-2y or x+2y=7
These equations describe parallel lines which never meet; thus there is no common solution..
