Solve the system of linear equations by the substitution method. Then, state whether the system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent. Show your work.
4x – 3y = 4
12x – 9y = 12

The 2nd equation is a multiple of the 1st so the system is dependent.

The solution is the set of all ordered pairs, (x , (4/3)x-(4/3))
