Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-4y+=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+2x-4\" Substitute this for y in the first equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-4%282x-4%29+=+16\" Apply the distributive property.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x-8x%2B16+=+16\" Combine like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( "\"16+=+16\" Consistent!
\n" ); document.write( "The system is a consistent system because it has at least one solution, and the equations are dependent equations.
\n" ); document.write( "The graphs of the lines represented by these two equations coincide which means that there are an infinite number of solutions.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C2x-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C2x-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
