8x-3y= - 12 y-4= - 8

Question

one solution , no solutions or infinite number of solutions ?

then how to classify as consistent independent, consistent dependent or inconsistent

Answer 1

I will assume you meant to type 2 equations
8x-3y= - 12 and
y-4= - 8

well, the second tells you that y = -4
sub into the first:
8x - 3(-4) = -12
x = -24

so what do you think?

Answer 2

yes it is two diff equations

one solution with consistent independent ?
