Solve the system of equations by substitution. What is the solution for x? 2x + y = 1 4x + 2y = -1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

multiply the first equation times 2, and you will see that there is no solution.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

because 4x+2y, will be equal to 2 and to -1 at the same time, which would mean that 2=-1
