Question 480279: Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
8x + 11y = -50
-32x – 44y = -200 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
8x + 11y = -50
-32x – 44y = -200
-----
Multiply thru the 1st equation by -4
---
-32x - 44y = 200
-32x - 44y = -200
---------------
Subtract:
0 = 400
---
That is a contradiction.
There is no ordered pair (x,y) that satisfies the system.
The lines are parallel.
