Question

How do solve the following linear system?: `x/2 - y = -1 , x-2y=-5`?

Answer 1

`color(red)(" There is inconsistency in the given values"`

Explanation:

`x/ - y = -1`

`x - 2y = -2. " Eqn (1)"`

`x - 2y = -5, " Eqn (2)`

In eqns (1), (2), L H S are equal but not the R H S.

`color(red)(" There is inconsistency in the given values"`
