x+5y=8 -2x-10y=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what methods have you learned so far so solving system of equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2(x+5y=8) --> -2x-10y=-16 -2x-10y=4 --> -2x-10y=4 Graphing, substitution, and addition.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great which one do you want to try out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2x-10y=-16 -2x-10y=4 0+0=20 Wow this doesnt look right. 0 can not equal 20 so this means there is no solution to the system of equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried addition to show that the first part could mirror the second part but equal a different number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's multiple choice and I'm really confused by it. x = 3, y = 1 x = -2, y = 0 The lines are parallel. The lines coincide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where do you need help @Romero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh Ok I got it. I said there is no solution and by that I mean when you graph both of the lines...they will never cross each other....can you tell me what lines never cross each other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are parallel but not coinciding..
