Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

3x - 6y = -12.,......(1)

x - 2y = -8.…......(2)

from equation (2),by adding 2y to both sides, x= -8 + 2y.....(3)

Let's substitute the value of x in equation (1)

3(-8 + 2y) - 6y = -12

-24 + 6y - 6y = -12

6y - 6y = 12..,..(4)

From equation (4) we can see that both equations (1) and (2) has no solutions for x and y

(b)They are two parallel lines of slope of 2 and intercepts on y at 2 and 4
