Can somebody explain WHY there is not a solution to the below system?
3x = 2y -4
6x -4y = -4
my answer key to this system says, 'no solution.' I did have problems trying to find a solution..but I would like a specific explanation as to why there is no solution to this system...

it does have a solution

anonymous · Answer

the program you are using is wrong

anonymous · Answer

I'm in an Intermediate Algebra College course...you saying there's a typo in my textbook?

anonymous · Answer

The problem specifically asked me to use the substitution method to find the solution...

anonymous · Answer

lol you are right, wasnt thinking too hard

anonymous · Answer

rearranage first for x'

x= (2y-4)/ 3

anonymous · Answer

sub into second

2(2y-4) -4y =-4

anonymous · Answer

gives -8 = -4

anonymous · Answer

false statement, so no solution

anonymous · Answer

Wait...what about the /3?  Don't you somehow substitute that in with the 2y-4, in the second equation?

anonymous · Answer

2(3x-2y+4)-(6x-4y+4)
hence both x and y terms cancels..so no solution

Thanks shine. :)
