Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that y is equal to 3/2x-2. We can replace the y in the first equation with 3/2x-2 because they are equal and we can solve for x.

3x-2(3/2x-2)=-8

We use the distributive property to undo the parentheses.

3x-3x+4=-8

We combine like terms.

4=-8

We see that since there is no x anymore, there cannot be a solution. We have no x value to solve for the y value either, so there is no solution to this system of equations.

Have a wonderful day! :D
