Question

Check the pair of linear equation x – y = 8 and 3x -3y = 16 are consistent or inconsistent

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

putting it in standard form

a1/a2+b1/b2+c1/c2

x/3x - y/3y -8 /-16=0

cancellation of the numerator and denominator gives us

1/3 - 1/3 - 1/2

so , therefore a1/a2=b1/b2 is not equal to c1/ c2

hence it is parallel and thus inconcistent
