You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve each system by substitution to determine whether the equations are independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
y = -3x + 19
y = x + 8
----------
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
x+8 = -3x+19
4x = 11
x = 11/4
-----------
Substitute into y = x+8 to get
y = (11/4)+8
y = 43/4
y = 10 3/4

You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = -3x + 19
y = x + 8 subtract one equation from other
-3x+19 -x-8=0
-4x=-11
x=11/4
..
plug value of x in the equation y=-3x+19
y=-3*11/4+19
y=43/4
..
