did you notice the slope of the first line is 15/12 or 5/4
the slope of the second is 30/24 = 5/4
So the two lines are parallel.
Notice by multiplying the first by -2 we would get
30r - 24s = -48
since the constants are different, we have 2 different parallel line, which cannot intersect
So no solution.
Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
-15r + 12s = 24
30r – 24s = 48
