\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "A consistent system has at least one solution.
\n" );
document.write( "An inconsistent system has no solutions.  
\n" );
document.write( "An independent system has exactly one solution.
\n" );
document.write( "A dependent system has infinitely many solutions.
\n" );
document.write( "y-3x = -7
\n" );
document.write( "y-3x = 5     Subtracting 2nd from 1st EQ
\n" );
document.write( "    -7 ≠ -5,  There is NO solution to this system \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
