Multiply each term of the first equation by 4.
Post what you get, okay?

x/2  +  y/4  =   3

@Directrix Thanks for replying. Oh and I got 2x + y = 12..?

directrix · Answer

2x + y =  12
2x + y  = 3/2
-----------

The left sides of the two equations are the same. The right sides are not.

If you subtract the second from the first, you get:

0 + 0 = 12 - 3/2  which is not true.

The lines do not have a common point of intersection.

Look at the attached graphs.

@batmaaaanxD   What is the relationship between the graphs of the two equations?

@Directrix Thanks for going through all this trouble but I just found that the question was wrong. The second equation is 2x-3y=12. I can solve it now, thank you!
