Answer: it has no solution
Explanation:
8x - 2y = 1 ..................... equation 1
-4x + y = 3 ...................... equation 2
solving the system of linear equation by substitution method . From equation 2 , make y the subject of the formula.
y = 3 + 4x .......................... equation 3
substitute equation 3 into equation 1 .
8x - 2(3 + 4x ) = 1
8x - 6 - 8x = 1
8x- 8x - 6 = 1
-6 = 1
this means that the equation has no solution
