Question 164235: This is 1 question with several parts.
Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system.
x + y = 10
x - y = 6
The solution is (8,2)
Is the system consistent or incosistent?
Are the equations dependent or independent?

To solve by graphing, solve for 'y' in each case and graph each individual equation. The solution will be the intersection of the two lines (if there is a solution).

Since there is only ONE unique solution, this means that the system is consistent and independent
