multiply first equation by 4
+32 x + 44 y = -200
-32 x - 44 y = -200
multiply second equation by -1
+32 x + 44 y = -200
+32 x + 44 y = +200
These are two parallel lines. They never intersect. There is no solution.
Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
8x + 11y = -50
-32x – 44y = -200

Well, say x + y = 1
and x + y = 2
that is impossible. There is no single point where x+y = two different numbers.
If you graph those two lines, you will see that they are parallel to each other and never cross.
