The equation that can pair with x + 2y = 5 to generate an inconsistent system is given by:
2x + 4y = 3.
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
A inconsistent system is a system that has no solution, that is, when the coefficients of x and y are multiplies, but the result is not. Hence, the option that gives an inconsistent system is given by:
2x + 4y = 3.
As when we try to solve the system, we would end up with the following situation:
[tex]0x = c, c \neq 0[/tex].
Which is impossible.
