See explanation.

Explanation:

The original system is:

#{(x+2y=10),(2x+4y=32):} #

If we divide the second equation by #2# we get:

#{(x+2y=10),(x+2y=16):} #

If we subtract the first equation from the second we get an equality:

#0=6#

The final equality means that the system of equations is inconsistent and therfore has no solutions.
