Solve the following system of equations by using the elimination method. 4x - y = 8 -8x + 2y = -5

there is no solution for the system of linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equation is

4x - y = 8 - - - - - - - - - 1

-8x + 2y = - 5 - - - - - - - -2

The first step is to eliminate y. We would multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1. It becomes

8x - 2y = 16 - - - - - - - - - 3

-8x + 2y = - 5 - - - - - - - -- 4

The next step is to add equation 3 and equation 4. It becomes

O + 0 = 11

It means that there is no solution

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
