Solve the system of equations simultaneously using the method of substitution or elimination: 3x+2y=-8 and -6x-4y=12 That’s the question and It’s really not making any sense to me

Answer 1

3x + 2y = -8

-6x - 4y = 12

If you multiply the top equation by 2 and add it to the bottom equation, you get

0 = -4,

which is an absurd result. Please double-check the wording of the original problem. If that really is the correct wording, then the answer is that "there is no solution to this system."
