Question

solve the system by the substitution method
12x-10y=4
         6x=5y+2

radar · Answer

This is an identity, both equations are the same, there is no specific solution, infinite solutions.

radar · Answer

Do you see that the two equations are the same?

radar · Answer

Take the first equation and divide all terms by 2 getting:  6x-5y=2
Now isolate the x variable on the left.
6x=5y+2    same as the second equation.

anonymous · Answer

Would you say that there are infinitely many solutions
or  empty set solution

radar · Answer

There are an infinite number of solutions as you actually have one equation, only one line.
Examples of solutions x=2, y=2  or x=0, y=-2/5  and so on and on and on
