Question 74728: Please help. I do not even know what to call this.
Solve each of the following systems by addition. If a unique solution does not exist, state whether the system is inconsistent or dependent.
2x+3y=1
5x+3y=16

+
---------------

Plug this in to find y

So the solution is (5,-3). If you graphed the 2 equations, they would intersect at (5,-3)

Check:
Plug in (5,-3)
