Question 145180: Solve the following system by any method:
x = 7/2 y + 9
2x - 7y = 18
Select the correct answer:
The system is inconsistent.
(-7, 10)
(8, 7)
(6, -8)
(7, 8)
The equations are dependent.

What pops out right away is I should multiply the 1st equation by
and then it will look like the 2nd equation

Now add to both sides of the 2nd equation

Both equations are identical, so the answer is
that the equations are dependent
