Solve each system by addition method. Determine whether the equations are independent, dependent or inconsistent.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "..x - y = 3.....equation A
\n" ); document.write( ".-6 + 6y = 17...equation B\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will multiply equation A by 6. This will create -6y, which then can be added to 6y to remove the y variable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x -6y = 18...We add this equation to the equation B.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After doing so, I noticed that BOTH variables cancel out.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This cannot happen because if both variables cancel out, then there is nothing to solve for.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This system of equations is inconsistent because it has NO SOLUTION.\r
