You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve each system by substitution. Determine whether the
equations are independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
Y = x + 4
3y – 5x = 6
--------------------
Modify:
y = x + 4
y = (5/3)x + 2
-------
x+4 = (5/3)x+2
(2/3)x = 2
(1/3) x = 1
x = 3
----
Since y = x+4, y = 7
=============================
different slopes so independent
=======================================
