Question

How do you solve the system of equations `-6x-4y=2` and `6x + 4y = - 6`?

Answer 1

The two equations are inconsistent and there is no solution to the systems of equation.

Explanation:

We have been given two equations, one `-6x-4y=2` and the other `6x+4y=-6`

Just adding te two equations gives us

`-6x-4y+6x+4y=2-6` or

`0=-4`

It is obvious that the two equations are inconsistent and there is no solution to the systems of equation.

Note: Such equations when drawn on Cartesian plane appear as a pair of parallel lines.
