3x - 2y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "-9x + 6y = -21
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st equation by 3 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "9x - 6x = 21
\n" ); document.write( "Add that to the 2nd equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "0+0 =0
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "That means the two equations are the equation for the same line.
\n" ); document.write( "It means every point on the line is a solution, so there are
\n" ); document.write( "infinitely many solutions to the system of equations. The equatios
\n" ); document.write( "are said to be dependent, meaning, one is a multiple of the other.
