Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations are 2x+4y= -8 and 4x+8y= 5

These two lines are parallel They don't have a solution because they do not meet .

Multiply the first equation by 2 we get 4x+8y = -16

the other equation is 4x+8y= 5 clearly these two are parallel .

To prove by elimination method we have subtract those two equations we get 21≠0 which is not possible.

Therefore there is no solution to the given set of equation.
