Question 82046
4x-12y=5----------(1)
-x+3y=-1-----------(2)


consider equation (2)

-x + 3y = -1

3y = -1+x

y = -1+x/3    (by transposing)

plugging the value of y in equation (1), we have

4x-12(-1+x/3)=5

4x + 12/3 -12x/3 = 5

4x + 4 - 4x= 5

Since we have +4x and -4x in the above equation, they get cancelled 

hence there is no solution for the above equation.

 Hence the system is inconsistent
