Solve by Substitution -5x+y=-12 , -5x+y=26

Problem

{[−5*x+y=−12],[−5*x+y=26])

Solution

1. Isolate a variable in the first equation. We can solve for y by adding 5*x to both sides.

y=5*x−12

2. Substitute the expression for y into the second equation.

−5*x+(5*x−12)=26

3. Simplify the resulting equation by combining like terms.

−5*x+5*x−12=26

−12=26

4. Analyze the result. The statement −12=26 is a contradiction, which means there are no values for x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.

Final Answer
