Start with the second equation.

Plug in . Basically, replace EVERY 'x' with '9y-9'

Distribute.

Combine like terms on the left side.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Simplify.

Since this equation is ALWAYS true for any y value, this means y can equal any number.

So there are an infinite number of solutions.

This then translates to the fact that the system of equations has an infinite number of solutions.

So the system is both consistent and dependent.
