y = x + 3

- 4x + 4y = 28

1 answer

To solve these two equations, we can use the method of substitution.

First, let's rewrite the first equation in terms of x:
y = x + 3

Now we substitute y in the second equation with x + 3:
-4x + 4(x + 3) = 28

Simplifying this equation:
-4x + 4x + 12 = 28
12 = 28

This is not a true statement, so there is no solution to this system of equations.
