You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, it would be useful to get both equations in the same form, e.g. the slope-intercept form:
\n" ); document.write( "1) $\"8x-6y+=+24\"$ ---> $\"y+=+%284%2F3%29x-24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2) $\"6y-8x+=+-24\"$ ---> $\"y+=+%284%2F3%29x-24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The two equations are identical, so they will graph into the same line.
\n" ); document.write( "Since the graphs cooincide, there are an infinite number of solutions.
\n" ); document.write( "The system is a consistent system since there is at least one solution and the equations are dependent equations. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
