1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the following system of equations:
x+2y=2x + 2y = 2
3x+6y=83x + 6y = 8
If the system has no solution, we should enter "NO SOLUTION".

2. Solution Steps

We can use the elimination method.
Multiply the first equation by -3:
3(x+2y)=3(2)-3(x + 2y) = -3(2)
3x6y=6-3x - 6y = -6
Now add this equation to the second equation:
(3x6y)+(3x+6y)=6+8(-3x - 6y) + (3x + 6y) = -6 + 8
0=20 = 2
This is a contradiction. Since we arrived at a contradiction, the system has no solution.

3. Final Answer

NO SOLUTION
