Question

Can someone help me?

Solve the following system of equations

x+5y=8 (1)
x=5-5y (2)

Answer 1

x+ 5y = 8
x + 5y = 5
So you have an inconsistent system of equations as x + 5y cannot be both values.

Answer 2

yes he is right

Answer 3

so as an ordered pair that would be (8,5)?

Answer 4

graphically, the two lines will never intersect

Answer 5

no, there in no ordered pair that satisfies both of these systems, theu theya re inconsistent

Answer 6

so there is no solution?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

good luck

Answer 9

why is there no ordered pair that satisfys the solution?

Answer 10

Because you have an inconsistent system. x cannot be 8 and 5 at the same time for example. If you are to look at this from a graphical perspective, let's take two answers that will satisfy the equations.
Let x = 3 and y = 1.
Then equation 1 is true, but equation 2 works out to be: 3 = 5 - 5(1) which gives us 3 = 0, which is not possible.
