Question 827259: 3x+2y=4
6x+4y=2
elimination method to solve the problem
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x+2y=4
6x+4y=2
elimination method to solve the problem
------
Assuming there is an (x,y) that satisfies the equation,
Multiply thru the top equation by 2 to get:
6x + 4y = 8
6x + 4y = 2
------------
Subtract to get:
0 = 6
======
That is a contradiction.
Our assumption was wrong; there is no such (x,y) pair.
------
Answer: No solution.
Why? The lines have the same slope and are parallel.
