Question 1135438: 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.
−6 y+4 x=-6
−24 y=-24−16 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 .

--------------------
−6 y+4 x=-6
−24 y=-24−16 x
--------------------

system%28-6y%2B4x=-6%2C-24y=-24-16x%29


system%28-3y%2B2x=-3%2C-3y=-3-2x%29

system%282x-3y=-3%2C2x-3y=-3%29

The two equations first given are equivalent, making for a line.
Infinitely many exact solutions.
