Write Equations: Write down the system of equations to analyze.We have the system:{13.8x+9.2y=−46x+4y=8
Simplify Second Equation: Simplify the second equation to make the coefficients of y the same in both equations.We can multiply the second equation by 2.3 to achieve this:2.3×(6x+4y)=2.3×813.8x+9.2y=18.4
Compare Equations: Compare the new form of the second equation with the first equation.We now have:{13.8x+9.2y=−413.8x+9.2y=18.4
Analyze Consistency: Analyze the resulting system for consistency. The two equations have the same left-hand side but different right-hand sides. This means that there is no solution to the system of equations since the same linear expression cannot equal two different numbers.
