Question

Solve each of the following systems by using either addition or substitution.  If a unique solution does not exist, state whether the system is dependent or inconsistent.

10x+2y=7
y==5x+3

Becky · Answer

Sorry, it should read y=-5x+3

Consistent means there is a unique solution. Dependent means the two equations are the same line.
