Question

y =3/2 x + 4

–3x + 2y = 8

Answer 1

@Hero can u help me please

Answer 2

replace y in the second equation with it's equivalent expression. We know

y = (3/2)x + 4 so...

-3x + 2((3/2)x + 4) = 8

Which becomes
-3x + 3x + 8 = 8

Answer 3

Oh, that's interesting.

Answer 4

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Are you able to solve for x?

Answer 7

solve for x??

Answer 8

If possible, yes

Answer 9

how

Answer 10

Well if you have done the substitution correctly, you should have gotten

-3x + 3x + 8 = 8

but...

-3x + 3x = 0

and

8 = 8

which means it is not possible to solve for x.

Answer 11

However, the equation is still true so that must mean infinite solutions for the system.
