I need to solve the following systems by addition. If a unique solution does not exist, I need to state whether the system is inconsistent or dependent.
\n" ); document.write( "1st: 2x + 3y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 5x + 3y = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1st from 2nd to get:
\n" ); document.write( "3x=15
\n" ); document.write( "x=5
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute in 1st or in 2nd to solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "2(5)+3y=1
\n" ); document.write( "10+3y=1
\n" ); document.write( "3y=-9
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3
\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "x=5, y=-3
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
