Step-by-step explanation:

TO show that this system has no solution, use the y value in the second equation and put it in for y in the first. Then solve.

x + 2y = -4

x + 2(-1/2x - 4) = -4

x - x - 8 = -4

-8 = -4

Because this is an incorrect statement, we can tell there is no solution.

Add the 2's together from both 72's. now your numbers are 70, 70, 56 and 4. Add the four to your 5 which is now 96. split 96 between the 70's. not dividing just the two numbers. now you have 79, and 76. put together your numbers and your answer is 7976.
