Question

Do the equations x = 4y + 1 and x = 4y - 1 have the same solution?

Answer 1

x is equal to both 4y+1 and 4y-1 so this means

4y + 1 = 4y - 1

Answer 2

solve 4y + 1 = 4y - 1 for y

Answer 3

is that even posible as you would have to add 1 then subtract 1 from both sides? or we get 8y=0

Answer 4

you subtract 4y from both sides

Answer 5

but they cancel out on both sides leaving you with 1 = -1

Answer 6

which is completely false

Answer 7

so there are no solutions

Answer 8

thank you
