Distribute and multiply.

So we have the new system of equations:

Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:

Group like terms.

Combine like terms.

Simplify.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.

Now go back to the first equation.

Plug in .

Multiply.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.

So our answers are and .

This means that the system is consistent and independent.
