Start with the 1st equation


Plug in


Distribute.


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.


Move onto to the 2nd equation


Plug in


Add


So the solutions are and which form the ordered pair (8,17). So the system is consistent and independent.
