Question 1135437: Solve the following system of equations using either the algebraic substitution method or the addition/subtraction method. Express your answers as exact values, using fractions where needed.
8 x−2 y=-4
-2=9 y+x
Enter your answers in the form (x,y). Make sure your answer is in parenthesis and that x and y are separated with a comma.
If the system is inconsistent, enter the word: inconsistent.
If the system is dependent enter the word: dependent.
For both of these responses, make sure you use lowercase letters and do not put the words in parenthesis .

----------------------
8 x−2 y=-4
-2=9 y+x
----------------------

system%288x-2y=-4%2C-2=9y%2Bx%29

system%284x-y=-2%2Cx%2B9y=-2%29

Preparing for use of Elimination,
system%284x-y=-2%2C4x%2B36y=-8%29
E2-E1
37y=-6
highlight%28y=-6%2F37%29

and then
system%2836x-9y=-18%2Cx%2B9y=-2%29
E1%2BE2
37x=-20
highlight%28x=-20%2F37%29
