You can put this solution on YOUR website! State whether the system is consistent and independent,consisten and dependent,or inconsistent: 4x+2y=8
2x+y =1
----------------
Multiply thru the 2nd equation be 2 to get:
4x+2y = 2
This is the same as the 1st equation.
So, the system is consistent and dependent.
