These two equations have no solution.
Explanation:
Given -
#5x=y-8# -------------(1)
#5x-y=4# -------------(2)
Solve Both equations for
#y-8 = 5x#
#y=5x+8#
Slope of the first equation
#-y=4-5x#
#y=-4+5x#
Slope of the second equation#m_2=5#
Since the slopes of the two equations are the same. They are parallel.
These two equations have no solution.
