Question 45160: Solve each of the following systems by addition.If a unique solution does not exist ,state whether the system is inconsistent or dependent.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you multiply both sides of the first equation by -2, you will find that the first equation is exactly the same as the second equation. In this case, the system is said to be dependent and there is NOT a unique solution. The solution is actually the entire line.
