Question

Help me with this question, please

Answer 1

Part 1: [ -4 = -8 ]

Part 2: Inconsistent

Explanation:

Part 1

1. Move all terms that don't contain x to the right side:

3x - 6y+6y = -12+6y

= 3x = -12 + 6y

2. Isolate x:

`(3x)/(3) = (-12+6y)/(3)`

x = -4 + 2y

3. Substitute the new expression into the original:

-4 + 2y - 2y = -8

4. Simplify:

-4 + 0 = -8

[ -4 = -8 ]

Part 2

The two solutions are not equal in value, so, we can conclude that the system of equations has no solution, or is inconsistent.

hope this helps!
