trying to solve a systems of equations with one inequality

177 Views Asked by At

I am trying to create a website that would run off this mathematical formula. I have tried to solve it but I got that there was no answer. I am only in pre-algebra and want a second opinion on if I got the equation right. thank you for your help!

$1.2=x-y$

$ x > 1$

$y > 1$

$x>y+2.3$

Is there a solution and if so how do you get it?

Answer is no solution. Let us see: $$y=x-1.2$$

It have to be: $$x-1.2<x-2.3$$ It needs to have: $$-1.2<-2.3$$ That is impossible. No Solution.

There are no solutions to this system.

$1.2=x-y\Rightarrow x=y+1.2$

Substituting for $x$ in $x>y+2.3$ we get:

$y+1.2>y+2.3\Rightarrow 0>1.1$

This last statement is clearly false so no solutions exist.
