Math Problem Statement
x+2y=10 , x+2y=8
Solution
The system of equations you provided is:
Now, let's analyze these equations. Subtract the second equation from the first:
This simplifies to:
This is a contradiction, which means there is no solution to this system of equations. The two lines represented by these equations are parallel and do not intersect.
