Start with the given system of equations:
Start with the first equation.
Add to both sides.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Rearrange the terms and simplify.
-------------------------------------------
Move onto the second equation.
Now plug in .
Distribute.
Multiply both sides by the LCD to clear any fractions.
Distribute and multiply.
Combine like terms on the left side.
Subtract from both sides.
Combine like terms on the right side.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Reduce.
-------------------------------------------
Since we know that , we can use this to find .
Go back to the first equation.
Plug in .
Multiply.
Add to both sides.
Combine like terms on the right side.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Reduce.
So the solutions are and .
This means that the system is consistent and independent.
Notice when we graph the equations, we see that they intersect at )
. So this visually verifies our answer.
