document.write( "  5x + 6y = 24\r\n" );
document.write( "2.5x + 3y = 12\r\n" );

document.write( "Notice that the first equation is exactly the second equation after multiplying both its sides by 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, these two equations are EQUIVALENT and, actually, represent one (the same) straight line.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the system is dependent. It has infinitely many solutions.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You can have any value for x; then the corresponding value for y will be  y = .\r\n" );
