x+5y=8 (1) x=2-5y (2) what is the solution of the system?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[2-5y+5y=8\] 2=8

OpenStudy (mertsj):

2=8????? That makes no sense. So what does it tell us? That we are looking for something that doesn't exist. These lines are parallel and so there is no solution.

lend me $8 i will give you $2 back
