PLEASEEEEEWhich of the following systems of equations has no solution? 18x - 6y = 14; 3y = 9x - 7 7x - 4 = 3y; 6y - 3 = 14x 4x - y = 10; 2y = 8x - 2 -5y = x - 6; 3x - 15y = 9

OpenStudy (valpey):

You are looking for a pair where the relative proportion of the x and y coefficients are equal (meaning two lines which are parallel and therefore never meet).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be the 3rd one right

OpenStudy (valpey):

Good. The third one has two parallel lines with different intercepts. Note that the first one is two parallel lines, but the same intercept (so they are really the same line.)
