Question:

$2 x-y=5$

$4 x-2 y=7$

Solution:

Given: $2 x-y=5$

$4 x-2 y=7$

$D=\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & -1 \\ 4 & -2\end{array}\right|=-4+4=0$

$D_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ll}5 & -1 \\ 7 & -2\end{array}\right|=-10+7=-3$

$D_{2=}\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & 5 \\ 4 & 7\end{array}\right|=14-20=-6$

Here, $D_{1}$ and $D_{2}$ are non-zero, but $D$ is zero. Thus, the given system of linear equations is inconsistent.
