Answer:
No solution is your answer ( I do not know who you are supposed to type it out, but there are 0 solutions for this system).
Step-by-step explanation:
Key skills needed: Systems, Elimination, Recognizing Solutions
We are given: 2x + 6y = 56
and 4x + 12y = 24
To find x and y, we can use elimination. We can multiply the first one by -2 and both equations to eliminate x.
-2(2x+6y) = 56(-2) (Tip: Use distributive property
--> -2(2x) = -4x
--> -2(6y) = -12y
--> 56(-2) = -112
This means that: -4x - 12y = -112
Add this one to: + 4x + 12y = 24
----------------------
You will get --> 0 = -88
0 does not equal -88 so there is no solution for this!
Hope you understood and have a nice day!!
