Get one variable isolated on one side and then substitute that problem on the otherside of the equal sign into the second problem and then solve for the other

souvik · Answer

if you common 4 from both sides of the first equation you'll get the second equation..so they have no solution...

anonymous · Answer

isolate the variables so you could get X on one side.
