is the following system classified as dependent, independent or inconsistent
\n" ); document.write( "-4x-2y= -4
\n" ); document.write( "3x - y= 13
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify:
\n" ); document.write( "-4x - 2y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 2y = 26
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract:
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 3, solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "3x - y = 13
\n" ); document.write( "9 - y = 13
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is (3,-4)
\n" ); document.write( "A single solution indicated the system is independent.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "No solution means inconsistent.
\n" ); document.write( "Infinitely many solutions means dependent.
