show that there are no solutions to the following: y=3x+4 y=3x-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put y from first equation in the second

OpenStudy (turingtest):

...or subtract the second equation from the first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should look like 3x+4=3x-4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is result?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than you should get 4=-4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thats why there are no solutions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (turingtest):

it means there are no solution because it is a statement that is never true

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[4\neq-4\]whenever you get a contradiction in solving a system, that means no solutions exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!
