The equations are dependent. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What pops out right away is I should multiply the 1st equation by
and then it will look like the 2nd equation
Now add to both sides of the 2nd equation
Both equations are identical, so the answer is
that the equations are dependent
