Question
6x - 2y = 10; 3x - 2 = y
Step1: Substitute y into first equation
Substitute $y=3x-2$ into $6x-2y=10$:
$6x - 2(3x - 2) = 10$
Step2: Expand and simplify the equation
$6x - 6x + 4 = 10$
$4 = 10$
Step3: Analyze the resulting statement
The equation $4=10$ is a false contradiction, meaning there is no pair of $(x,y)$ that satisfies both equations simultaneously.
