    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    3x - 6y = - 12 → (1)

    x - 2y = 10 → (2)

    Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by adding 2y to both sides

    x = 10 + 2y → (3)

    Substitute x = 10 + 2y into (1)

    3 (10 + 2y) - 6y = - 12 ← distribute left side

    30 + 6y - 6y = - 12 (subtract 30 from both sides)

    0 = - 42 ← not possible

    Thus the system of equations has no solution
