Closer.
------------
Without solving tell if the system is inconsistent, the equations are dependent or neither
x+5y+31
2x-4y=-8
One of the + signs in the 1st eqn should be and equal sign.
In either case, the slopes of the 2 lines will be different, so the eqns are independent and consistent.

Not inconsistent.
Not dependent.
