Start with the given system of equations:

Start with the first equation.

Add to both sides.

Rearrange the terms and simplify.

-------------------------------------------

Move onto the second equation.

Now plug in .

Distribute.

Combine like terms on the left side.

Add to 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.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

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.
