Question

What is the solution to this system of equations?

Answer 1

There is no solution.

Explanation:

Given:

y = 2x + 1

4x - 2y = 4

Substitute y = 2x + 1 into 4x - 2y = 4

4x - 2(2x + 1) = 4

4x - 4x - 2 = 4

0x = 4 + 2

0x = 6

Anything to the multiple of zero is zero. Hence 0x = 0, and 0 ≠ 6

So there is no solution to the equation.
